Attorney General Jackley to Participate in Congressional Roundtable

On Lawfare Against America’s Farmers and Ranchers

PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley participates Tuesday in a Congressional committee roundtable on how America’s farmers and ranchers are being hurt by stringent federal regulations.

The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is hosting a full committee roundtable titled “Farming on Trial: A Roundtable on the Growing Use of Lawfare Against American Agriculture.” The roundtable will examine how courts and litigation are increasingly shaping farm policy, with lawsuits and settlements driving regulatory outcomes rather than transparent, accountable lawmaking.

“As the Attorney General and as a landowner, I know South Dakota farmers and ranchers have been adversely impacted by federal laws that make little sense,” said Attorney General Jackley. “I appreciate the invitation from Committee Chairman James Comer to advocate for our farmers and ranchers.”

Other participants are Shad Sullivan, Private Property Rights Committee Chair, R-CALF USA, and Margaret Byfield, Executive Director, American Stewards of Liberty.

Tuesday’s hearing starts at 9 a.m. CST in the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. It will be livestreamed at https://oversight.house.gov/
