Why Big Government Fails: Hank Vogler on Federal Land Grazing and American Freedoms
The two dive into federal land grazing regulations, the process of artificial insemination in sheep, and Hank shares his take on a recent Across the Pond discussion about GMOs — pointing out that farmers have been modifying crops for hundreds of years to improve yield and quality. They also discuss the serious requirements for modern agriculture production and the growing Ag trade deficit that threatens America’s food security. Hank shares a humorous story about New Zealand butter and reflects on the current lamb and wool markets, along with U.S. fiber production trends. Trent and Hank highlight a major win for farmers as North Dakota becomes the first state to pass a law protecting GMO producers from unfair liability. Hank also shares a few colorful stories from his time on the local county commission, where firsthand experience taught him why bigger government is almost never the answer. Together, Trent and Hank offer sharp insight on the importance of protecting personal freedom, local control, and the values that built this nation.
