We oppose USFWS taking land out of production by using pollinator programs, CRP or any other government program and placing it on private lands for single-species recovery efforts. KFB visited USFWS offices in March to advocate for limited government interference when it comes to the lesser prairie chicken, monarchs and the Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in Stafford County, Kansas. Kansas Farm Bureau is concerned about potential restrictions on private lands as various state and federal agencies study the monarch butterfly population. Utilizing the Conservation Reserve Program at USDA to increase pollinator habitat has potential pitfalls and needs to be utilized cautiously. USFWS owns and operates Quivira National Wildlife Refuge in Stafford County, Kansas. USFWS needs to work with adjacent private landowners and the Kansas Department of Agriculture-Division of Water Resources and come to a mutually beneficial agreement as it pertains to a water right and management agreement of the refuge. We do not support expanding a USDA-FSA program such as CREP into the Rattlesnake Creek region due to the Quivira water right situation. | Agriculture, Dept of (USDA),Army, Dept of (Corps of Engineers),Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),Federal Communications Commission (FCC),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE,U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS),U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) | 110000 | 0 | 0 | 2018-04-13T11:54:53.687000-04:00 |
