TSCRA applauds USDA’s efforts ensuring agriculture producers are supported and not burdened by regulations. Thank you Sec. Rollins and the Trump Administration for strengthening agriculture.

[Dept. of Agriculture @USDA]

USDA is realigning the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations to speed up critical work that keeps forests healthy, reduces wildfire risk, and protects rural communities.

This final rule prioritizes real-world results over the procedural delays that have stalled infrastructure and forest health projects for decades and put resources and communities at risk. https://t.co/q16ioWCJYR
