Oklahoma Congressman Frank Lucas addressed the 2010 meeting of the Oklahoma Association of Conservation Districts on Monday morning, before heading to the airport and a flight back to our nation's Capitol. Before that appearance, we had the chance to sit down and visit with Congressman Lucas about several issues, including reaction to the Obama new Healthcare Plan, Cuts in Conservation spending in the Obama budget and the need to educate through Farm Bill hearings the need for Conservation and Farm Program spending to be left alone.
We also talked about the battle between Congress and the EPA over regulation of Greeenhouse Gas Emissions. Congressman Lucas believes that there is a good chance that the Congress will go on record calling on EPA to do move forward with their intention to regulate GHGs.
After our exclusive conversation with Congressman, we also recorded his remarks to the annual meeting of the OACD, being held at the Reed Center in Midwest City. Click here for our Ag Perspectives Podcast featuring the speech made by Congressman Lucas.
