Oklahoma Congressman Believes SEC Emission Reporting Could Impact Farmers
Oklahoma Congressman Frank Lucas, a longtime champion of the agriculture industry, is pushing legislation that he feels is necessary to keep farmers and ranchers from being saddled with burdensome emissions reporting requirements. Under rules proposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in March, public companies will have to provide a more detailed accounting of their greenhouse gas emissions, the environmental risks they face, and the measures they’re taking in response.
