**The Public Lands Council thanked President Trump, Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum for the push to make the federal government’s wildfire prevention and response strategy more efficient.
PLC President Tim Canterbury says there is no single solution for protecting the West from catastrophic wildfires, but by using livestock grazing to reduce fuels, increasing active land management, and making the federal response more efficient, we can protect lives and livelihoods.
**Nominations are being accepted from farmers and ranchers to serve on local USDA Farm Service Agency County committees.
These committees make important decisions about how federal farm programs are administered locally.
All nomination forms must be postmarked or received in the local FSA office by August 1.
FSA Administrator Bill Beam says here’s your chance to support USDA’s commitment to putting farmers first by amplifying the voices of farmers and ranchers.
