540 SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler

Awesome.

Well, let me jump into some more questions about your job.

We'll just go straight for it.

I'm a farmer.

I am well aware of deaf fluid, and I'm not a fan of it.

Now, President Trump has made some comments about deaf in that But then you talk to John Deere, you talk to Case IH Caterpillar, and they're afraid of changing anything because they feel like the next president coming in might just switch it back.

I mean, what are the chances that this could stick, that we could actually come to some more common sense on what emissions should look like?

Yeah, as you say that diesel exhaust fluid, I can picture the big container sitting in the machine sheds at home, these leaky containers that people have to deal with, and then thinking about the brittleness of the parts that you have to fix when they break, even though your tank's full of death.

This administration is united behind President Trump's commitment to resolving the issues around death.

And I think EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has taken some huge steps in the last year and a half.

Almost as soon as we came in, we started working on it together because, of course, as small business administrator, I hear about it directly from small businesses, which include 1.9 million American family farms.

And I'm so grateful to work with him, as well as Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins, who's a dear friend of mine.

And so proud of the work she's doing.

And farmers have been disproportionately put upon by the Green New Deal, by the environmental circus that has gone on really since the Obama administration or before.

that really didn't do any cost-benefit analysis to the requirements.

And that's why President Trump has said that this administration is going to stand with farmers to reduce a burden that is costly, not just in money, but in time.

When you have a harvest window that's open, you've got a few days to get it done before rain or equipment breaks down.

You don't need another artificial fence.

player in there causing another breakdown or delay.

So the deratements, the policies from the EPA have been very helpful.

There's now major rulemaking about implementation for off-road farm equipment to not have deratements at all.

And then things like being able to have flexibility around replacing those DEF sensors with NOx sensors, I think is common sense.

Now, Why am I involved in this as a small business administrator? We operate the Office of Advocacy, which helps with deregulatory efforts.

That's why I've worked with Administrator Zeldin on this, is rules that disproportionately, or I should say regulations that disproportionately disadvantage small businesses are something that our office can go after.

We want to continue to hear from farmers what their concerns are about current policy and make sure that there is relief for this.

Awesome.
