In rural America, we understand a basic economic truth: when you can’t tell what you’re buying, you can’t price it honestly. And when the price can’t tell the truth, the American rancher gets squeezed.

Earlier this week, I sat down with some of the greatest Americans I have ever met - multi-generation Western ranchers who put it plain and simple: Washington has been working against them, not for them.
Of the 640 million acres owned by the federal government, 35% is actively permitted for grazing, including 40% of the USDA Forest Service’s 193 million acres.
Unfortunately, federal land ranchers are facing delays in THOUSANDS of grazing permits and historic lack of coordination across USDA and DOI who manage these lands.
That stops TODAY with the Trump Administration. I have spoken directly to @DougBurgum and our incredible @USDA and @Interior teams have already begun to map the solutions. More coming soon.
These ranchers feed our families, fuel our economy, and keep America strong. They deserve a government that has their back, not one that ties their hands.
We’re taking action. Big changes are coming. Stay tuned. 🇺🇸

The American Angus Association taking Bezos’ money is bad enough. Using it to push lies about cattle methane is worse. #SaveOurRanchers#shakethehandthatfeedsyou https://t.co/ZU8IWl4zAF
