Good morning, i call this hearing to order. We will hold a hearing on the impact of federal environmental regulations and policies on American Farming and ranching communities. The discussion here today is not about the value of environmental regulations but about how some federal regulations can be inflexible, antiquated, duplicative and ultimately harmful to american agriculture, a critical part of our nations economy.

Wyoming ranchers and farmers are familiar with the ecosystem and its need. This is where they work, live and invest their energy. Farmers and ranchers are the original stewards and understand landscapes and watersheds
