Thank God some in this state had the smarts to provide funding to buy out wetlands in north dakota, because you would end up with what is happening in Ohio and other states. And no, im not a big fan of opening up federal land to be developed because once that happens, the land is lost forever.

Old timers could see what was coming in the 1950's. They saw what happened during the dust bowl. Look no further than Iowa and MN. If thats the future you want for ND, then by all means hop on the drain tile train.

How would the fed gov even begin to divest of the hundreds of millions/billions of dollars spent to purchase these easements with duck stamps? The golden child of modern conservation programs....Just wipe them off the books? Must be nice to be a farmer. Just destroy the goal posts when you dont like how the game went.

It’s awesome being a farmer. Subsidies and handouts as far as the eye can see.

It's hard to keep everyone happy because a lot of people paint a big picture on both ends of the spectrum at the same time. Complain about loss of habitat and then complain about people who choose to do the right thing.

We need a new farm bill, to protect all our "producers"
And we need an "All the above energy plan"
Says milk toast JOHN HOEVEN ALL THE TIME!

He is an empty suit, as everyone knows there is no money in farming, just ask the farmers who embrace the green deal and suck the tit of the wind farms which would not exist if not for the generous subsidies of we the people.
Talk about a transfer of wealth........

Need to get the government out of the farming business, among lots of other things, but what is happening is unsustainable

And everyone bitches about the price of groceries, so much that we are on the brink of mandating free lunches for all in our state constitution. Where do I sign up for the handouts? I need to get me some!
