Oklahoma AG Scott Pruitt Tapped for EPA Administrator, OK Farm Bureau's Tom Buchanan Reacts

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 17:06:38 CST

Oklahoma AG Scott Pruitt Tapped for EPA Administrator, OK Farm Bureau's Tom Buchanan Reacts Radio Oklahoma Network Associate Farm Director Carson Horn reached out to Oklahoma Farm Bureau President Tom Buchanan for his reaction to news of Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt's appointment to take over as administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency by President-Elect Donald Trump. Listen to Horn's conversation with Buchanan by clicking the LISTEN BAR below. In addition, Buchanan released the following statement on Pruitt's appointment this afternoon.


"Oklahoma Farm Bureau congratulates Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt on being named administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Donald Trump administration.


"Pruitt's selection as EPA administrator is a win for farmers and ranchers across the country. As Oklahoma attorney general, Pruitt has been a staunch advocate of agriculture and Oklahoma Farm Bureau. He continuously has defended farmers and ranchers against the EPA and has led the charge in suing the agency over its burdensome regulations such as the Waters of the United States rule and the Clean Power Plan.


"We are confident Pruitt will restore the EPA to its constitutional role, allowing farmers and ranchers to freely produce the safest, most abundant and most affordable food supply in the world."




American Farm Bureau President Zippy Duvall also released a statement regarding the appointment as well.

"President-elect Trump's selection of Scott Pruitt to lead the Environmental Protection Agency is welcome news to America's farmers and ranchers-in fact, to all who are threatened by EPA's regulatory overreach-and should help provide a new degree of fairness for U.S. agriculture. We know that in his position as attorney general in Oklahoma, Pruitt has stood up for common-sense, effective regulation that protects the environment and the rights of the regulated community. We have been grateful for his effective legal work in response to EPA's overreaching Waters of the U.S. Rule.


"We anticipate that as EPA administrator, Pruitt will listen to our concerns and those of others who work with the nation's natural resources on a daily basis. Agriculture is a profession based on a solid ethic of conservation. It helps guide everything we do, and we expect that Pruitt will understand that in regulatory matters dealing with agriculture and the environment."
