I believe that American farmers and ranchers are the backbone of our nation – a diverse domestic supply of food and fiber is the foundation of our security, our social values and our economy. Far too often, our farmers and ranchers face unnecessary mandates, oppressive federal regulations, and an overreaching government bureaucracy. I am committed to protecting private property; promoting alternative energies, such as cellulosic biomass ethanol, that do not compete with feedstock; maintaining a strong safety net for those that provide us with a safe, reliable, and affordable food supply; and ensuring trade doors remain open so that our farmers and ranchers have marketing opportunities abroad. – U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe
Senator Inhofe is committed to protecting farmers, ranchers and all of rural America from the aggressive over-reach of federal regulations from the bureaucracies. He recognizes the invaluable role farmers and ranchers have in our society and has worked to protect the hard-working, common sense values cultivated in rural America.
Producing food in the United States is vital to our national security and prosperity. Throughout his career in Congress, Senator Inhofe has secured important legislation to ensure Oklahoma remains a national leader in agricultural production.
Visiting rural communities around the state on a regular basis, Senator Inhofe works closely with those communities to enact policies that protect the family farm while keeping the American food supply safe, reliable, and affordable.
