LENEXA, KAN. (JULY 9, 2025) - On July 1, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) hosted the region's Farm Bureaus at the Regional Office in Lenexa, Kansas, to discuss topics at the intersection of agriculture and EPA regulations.

"Last week, our leadership had the chance to hear directly from the groups that represent farmers in the Heartland," said EPA Region 7 Administrator Jim Macy. "Through these forums, we're building partnerships that will Power the Great American Comeback, while protecting human health and the environment."

The listening session centered on EPA's statutory authorities under the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, and Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.

Attendees included representatives from the Farm Bureau Federations in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.

As part of EPA's Powering the Great American Comeback Initiative, the Agency is committed to partnering with agriculture to safeguard our environment, while streamlining regulatory processes to boost economic investment.
