	Jim Hagedorn on Environment

Draconian regulations are burdensome to farmers

The EPA continues to issue draconian regulations without any regards to their cost and their minimal impact on the environment. These regulations are costly, burdensome and unnecessary for farmers who already have every economic incentive to be good stewards of their land. [Former Democratic Representative] Tim Walz has done nothing to stand up for farmers against this onslaught of costly, unnecessary regulation. Jim Hagedorn will.

EPA regulations are invasive toward farming efforts

An ongoing survey of all of Minnesota's lakes and streams found that many bodies of water in the southern Minnesota district are polluted. But Hagedorn said he doesn't "buy that premise." "They don't give farmers credit for being good stewards of the land," he said. "I think we're doing just fine." Instead, he criticized the Environmental Protection Agency and Democratic officials for putting too many clean water regulations on farmers trying to make a living.
