The Biden Administration’s 30 by 30 plan, which calls for conserving 30 percent of the nation’s land by 2030, was a hot-button topic during the American Farm Bureau Federation policy session. Sterling, North Dakota farmer Lucas Lang served as a delegate and says NDFB President Daryl Lies was an integral part of this debate. “It was the feeling of some delegates on the floor that we should drop the strong opposition language to this so (AFBF President) Zippy Duvall could be in the room in those conversations, but here in North Dakota we strongly, strongly oppose it and Daryl (Lies) led the charge to oppose it at the federal level so AFBF will have a strong ‘no’ stance again on our books on that policy.” RRFN’s coverage of the AFBF Annual Meeting is sponsored by NDFB.
