WASHINGTON, D. C. - The U.S. Environmental Protection (EPA) Agency&nbsp;Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced the newest members of its Farm, Ranch and Rural Communities Committee (<a href="https://www.epa.gov/faca/frrcc">FRRCC</a>).

This 33-member committee, established in 2008, provides independent policy advice, information and recommendations to the EPA administrator on a range of issues important to agriculture and rural communities.&nbsp;

Jesse McCurry, Colwich, Executive Director of the Kansas Grain Sorghum Commission and Kansas Grain Sorghum Producers Association, and Bill Pracht, Garnett, CEO of Pracht Farms and East Kansas Agri-Energy, were both named to the committee.&nbsp;

The new slate of members will formally restart the committee, which currently has zero active members and will better help the EPA understand the needs, concerns and ideas of rural America. Members come from 24 states and represent a broad range of the agriculture industry. The committee will have its first meeting later this summer.
