On the phone with Andy Henry of Highland Ranch in Cranbury, NJ.
The city govt has approved seizing his 175-year-old family farm via eminent domain for affordable housing units.
Whether the Maudes, the Henrys or others whom we will soon announce, the Biden-style government takeover of our family farms is over. While this particular case is a city eminent domain issue, we @usda are exploring every legal option to help.

"Over the last four or five years, we have lost almost 180,000 family farms... If we're going to save America, we have to save our farmers." says @SecRollins.
The One Big Beautiful Bill will revitalize America's agricultural sector.
Henry Farm Update:
Just signed a letter to Cranbury Township, NJ, urging them to halt the seizure of a 175-year-old family farm. @USDA has certified this land as 100% prime farmland. If federal funds are involved, this project and seizure plan is out of compliance with the law. We will protect America’s farmland. 🌾🇺🇸
MORE TO COME.
Thank you @SecRollins for rescinding the 2001 Roadless Rule. For years, this overreaching regulation made it harder to treat our national forests and prevent catastrophic wildfires. Eliminating this misguided rule paves the way for the @ForestService to responsibly and proactively manage our forests for the better.
