The 13th Congressional District w/ John Duarte

Published | Video Starts at 21:17

In the tweet, you're only going four inches. It was four to seven inches. Their own government expert report literally said it was four to seven inch tillage. They said it might have been twelve inches, where we grabbed a chunk of hard pan that somebody else tilled up earlier and told it on its side, and it left maybe an eleven or twelve inch debit where the hard pan was moved from. And they gave us a cease and desist order. We asked them to come out to the field and look at what we were doing. We asked them to give us a hearing. (21:17–21:29)

CLAIM

Asserts that the government claimed the tillage might have been twelve inches due to previous tilling.
