Great to catch up with @smithrileyj with Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network about our @WaysandMeansGOP field hearing on tax reform and the need to pass the Farm Bill ASAP.

We also talked about my bills to open new markets and lower the cost of crop insurance for our young farmers.

@allegro572 @Blueequus775 There is definitely still plenty of work to be done for the greater sage-grouse, though! Here's a link to the USDA NRCS website and the Sage Grouse Initiative: https://t.co/0AJaVLAMEd. Ranchers can and must be a part of the solution! (2/2)

[Riley Smith @smithrileyj]

@allegro572 @Blueequus775 A recent study done by the University of Idaho actually showed that cattle grazing is not harmful to grouse: https://t.co/EJx0cpwdYx.

The University of Nevada, Reno, also carried out a study on how cattle grazing can actually benefit grouse: https://t.co/CNH1KEJeAR. (1/2)

#PROP12 stands up to legal challenges in the #SCOTUS . Effectively this gives an individual state the power over the other 49 to dictate how you should conduct business. Prepare for the #slipperyslope.
