Listing the Lesser Prairie Chicken would drastically impact farmers and ranchers in Kansas and hinder local economic development. It would also ignore the fact that the bird’s population has experienced a 50 percent increase in recent years. I oppose any federal efforts to re-list the Lesser Prairie Chicken and will continue to support legislation to that end – state-led volunteer conservation practices remain the best approach for success.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
