Quote: "I have spent my life’s work in conservation through my earth moving construction company. I know firsthand that farmers do not want to limit their harvest because of an endangered weed located on their property, especially when their family depends on a successful season. It is time to repeal this broken law and improve it so we preserve the rights of our private landowners."
