Here’s a summary of the USDA’s June 30, 2025, press release on Secretary Brooke Rollins’ rollback of environmental regulations: 🌲 Key Changes to NEPA Regulations 1. Overhaul of NEPA Review Process: USDA is issuing a unified department-wide regulation by rescinding seven agency-specific NEPA rules—cutting regulatory volume by around 66% tucsonsentinel.com The goal: streamline environmental review, reduce delays, and better support rural infrastructure, energy, forest, and agricultural projects. 2. White House Deregulation Context: This action follows President Trump’s Unleashing American Energy executive order and CEQ’s rollback of its own NEPA rules—clearing the way for USDA to reform its regime usda.gov . 3. Interim Final Rule Published: A pre-publication of the interim rule was released on June 30, 2025, with the official Federal Register version expected soon usda.gov . 📣 Why This Matters Faster approvals: A simplified NEPA framework may help reduce litigation and project delays, offering quicker implementation of beneficial projects. Economic boost: USDA frames this as a jobs and cost-savings measure for rural communities and the ag sector. Environmental stewardship: USDA says the changes still "honor the Department’s legacy of land stewardship," while this will shift oversight to a broader, more consistent standard usda.gov +1 usda.gov +1 . 🧭 Wider Rollback Pattern This doesn't stand alone. Earlier this year, Secretary Rollins: Rescinded the 2001 “Roadless Rule” (June 23) to permit road construction, timber management, and fire-resilience activities in National Forest lands (~58 million acres) electric.coop +6 usda.gov +6 usda.gov +6 .

BEST SPEECH FROM IBRAHIM TRAORE | 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐌𝐬𝐚𝐬𝐚 🇹🇿

BEST SPEECH FROM IBRAHIM TRAORE 🌍 Africa has the potential to feed itself—and the world. It’s time we shift from import-dependent to global suppliers of safe, nutritious, locally grown food. With vast arable land, minerals,a growing youth population, and rich biodiversity, Africa holds a strategic advantage in global food production. But to realise this vision, we must unite as a continent, invest in modern agriculture, empower smallholder farmers, and strengthen value chains across borders. Let’s work together to ensure food security for our people first, and then turn outward—to export food to regions that face shortages. 💡 The world is hungry, and Africa can be the solution. www.cropsupply.com #AfricaRising #FoodSecurity #Agriculture #ExportAfrica #AgriBusiness AgWiki #AfricanDevelopment #FarmersFirst #FeedTheWorld #AgTech #TradeNotAid #SustainableFarming #AfCFTA

Senator Introduces Bill to Increase Special Valuation Tool for Farm Estates

The current Section 2032A cap is $1.42 million because the cap has increased in value because of inflation, but the provision hasn't kept up with the growth in land values. A senator's bill would raise the cap to $15 million, which is in line with overall estate-tax exemption levels.
