Washington, D.C. (October 07, 2021)—“I applaud the announcement today by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael Regan that he is appointing Rod Snyder as the agency’s next Agriculture Advisor. Rod is an outstanding choice for this position. For nearly two decades, he has worked at the intersection of agriculture and environmental issues and is respected by stakeholders ranging from producers and their co-ops to environmental organizations.
“Rod comes into this role at a critical time, with a number of issues impacting farmers and ranchers being considered by the EPA. We look forward to working with him to make sure that agriculture’s positions are fully understood by those within the agency making these decisions.”
