HUTCHINSON — Kansas U.S. Sen. Dr. Roger Marshall hears his constituents in 
their concern for the rural implications of President Biden's plan of 
protecting 30% of the U.S. by 2030."You talk about getting people
 fired up," Marshall said. "We've done about 23 town halls now, I think 
and this is the No. 1 emotional issue out there, that President 
Biden is proposing that the federal government control 30% of our land 
by the year 2030. You talk about upsetting people, start messing with 
their property rights."Marshall notes that it would take a lot to get that much land out of service in Kansas."Only
 3 percent of the land in Kansas is owned by the government, by the 
state or the federal government," Marshall said. "Even if we would take 
that and we would put it into CRP, if we would take 30 percent of the 
farmland in Reno County out of production, think what it would do to 
downtown Hutchinson, Kansas."There's no mistaking it, jobs would be lost, he said."If
 we would take 30% of Kansas land out of production, it would be the end
 of so many hospitals in the state of Kansas," Marshall said. "We would 
have to consolidate more schools. It would probably mean losing 75,000 
jobs in the state of Kansas."<a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/biden-commits-to-30-by-2030-conservation-executive-orders">National Geographic reported in January</a>
 that reaching the 30 by 30 target will require conserving an additional
 area twice the size of Texas, more than 440 million acres, within the 
next 10 years.Below is the full interview with Senator Marshall.<div><iframe title="May 4, 2021 Morning Show-U.S. Senator Dr. Roger Marshall" style="border: none;" scrolling="no" data-name="pb-iframe-player" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?i=yetd9-10292ea-pb&from=pb6admin&download=1&share=1&download=1&rtl=0&fonts=Arial&skin=1&btn-skin=7" allowfullscreen="" width="100%" height="150"></iframe></div>
