The purpose of the legislation is to increase the amount of actual farming experience on the EPA Science Advisory Board which provides analysis and recommendations for regulations and other issues that can have an impact on American agriculture.  Farmers are increasingly concerned with regulations that have an adverse impact on their industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With food prices rising and the cost of fuel increasing it is past time to improve farmers representation within the EPA system allowing their voice to be heard as regulations are created.&#8221; Stutzman said, &#8220;The American farmer helps to feed the world and we must make sure that burdensome regulations are vetted properly with input from those they will harm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Congressman Stutzman represents the 3rd Congressional District of Indiana and serves on the House Committee on Agriculture, the House Committee on the Budget and the House Committee on Veterans&#8217; Affairs, Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity.  Indiana&#8217;s 3rd District contains all of DeKalb, Kosciusko, Lagrange, Noble, Steuben, and Whitley counties; as well as parts of Allen and Elkhart counties. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/fed\/dsc_0001.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Senator Dick Lugar visiting with Sister City International representatives: Dr. John Chodacki (far left), Stanley Barker (left) both of Fort Wayne and Aaron Goetz (far right) of Indianapolis.
