A recent Baltimore Sun article quoted American Farm Bureau Federation’s Dale Moore on how agriculture advocates are supporting Scott Pruitt, President-elect Trump’s pick for EPA administrator. As Oklahoma attorney general, Pruitt worked towards common-sense regulatory reform. He supported the lawsuit AFBF filed against EPA when the agency exceeded its authority on the Clean Water Act.

"We see his commitment to really putting the brakes on regulatory creep," Moore told the Sun. "We have a high degree of confidence that he's going to bring a relatively pragmatic approach to that process."
