Press Conference Maude Family Ranchers

Washington, D.C. — Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Governor Kristi Noem held a press conference today to express their support for the Maude family. This event follows the recent decision to drop criminal charges against the family related to their use of federal land for ranching.

The Maude family faced accusations of misusing federal land rights, which sparked considerable public outcry and support from livestock groups. The charges were dismissed after community advocates highlighted the ranchers’ contributions to local agriculture and their adherence to land-use regulations.

“It’s crucial that we stand by American families who are being unjustly attacked,” said Secretary Vilsack. “The Maude family is a model of responsible ranching, and they deserve our support.” Attorney General Bondi echoed this sentiment, stating, “This victory is not just for the Maude family, but for all ranchers who face similar challenges.”

During the press conference, Governor Noem emphasized the importance of protecting farmers and ranchers from what she called “overreach” by federal authorities. “Farmers feed our families, and they must be treated fairly,” she said.

The Maude family expressed their gratitude during the event, praising local supporters and government officials. They hope this outcome will encourage more open dialogue about land use policies in the future.

As the ranching community applauded the resolution of the case, many looked forward to increased collaboration with state and federal agencies to ensure sustainable practices moving forward.
