American Farm Bureau Federation officials say the President-elect’s pick of Scott Pruitt to head up the EPA is welcome news for farmers and ranchers. South Dakota Farm Bureau President Scott VanderWal who also serves as AFBF Vice President says Pruitt will be good for both business and agriculture and will reign in the agency’s regulatory overreach.
He says Pruitt will make sure any EPA regulation doesn’t cause undue harm or cost to businesses or agriculture.
VanderWal thinks they can work with Pruitt to build support for renewable fuels and the need for the RFS and other biofuels policies.
VanderWal is also optimistic Pruitt will bring a new degree of fairness for agriculture.
