The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) is supporting an attempt to modernize the federal permitting process. The 417-page bill sitting before Congress contains the most comprehensive permitting package that has been considered in years. Autumn Lankford Higgins, AFBF director of government affairs, said the new legislation would do a few things.
Higgins said there are several parts of the legislation that would be beneficial for both farmers and ranchers.
However, Higgins noted that some parts of the bill could still use some improvement.
