North Dakota farmers and ranchers can compete with anyone if they have a level playing field. HB1371 would give them the same business tools available to entrepreneurs in every other industry to access capital they need to start or expand livestock operations. 1/

ND has some of the cleanest water in the U.S., and this proposed rule threatens our authority to protect our waters from pollution. It’s a prime example of federal overreach that ought to be withdrawn. We support ND's attorney general in challenging this rule. 3/3

The EPA’s reworked version of WOTUS has the same problems as its predecessor, violating landowner rights and creating confusion for farmers, ranchers and industry by adding red tape and erroneously classifying almost every stream, pond and wetland as a federally managed water. 2/

After North Dakota led the fight against the Obama administration’s misguided Waters of the U.S. rule, it’s disappointing that the Biden administration is doubling down on this overreaching policy. 1/

We need to do away with the archaic law as it applies to ownership of animal agriculture operations. Let’s take the handcuffs off our producers. Let’s allow animal agriculture to flourish in North Dakota once again. We need Farm Freedom legislation, and we need it now!
