On Thursday, The Biden Administration released its ?30×30? report. The goal is to conserve thirty percent of America?s land and water by 2030. Many farmers are concerned that this means the government will be involved in land grabs and eminent domain usage to take their land away. Many Ag groups shared those concerns and waited with angst to see what the report held for farmers.
Since the report has been released, the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) has looked at it to see how farmers are regarded in the plans. AFBF Vice President for Public Affairs Sam Kieffer talks about the priorities in the plan.
Kieffer was pleased to see that the report recognized farmers for the work they have already done and addresses the concerns that were raised. There are many parts where the Administration and the Ag industry can find common ground.
Keiffer says that the AFBF and agriculture need to keep a spot at the table to find solutions to meet the Biden Administration?s goals, without becoming an unnecessary burden to farmers.
