Pay for performance is a popular concept, where those who do their jobs well get raises while those who don't have their pay cut.

That’s the model U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, said she supports for U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas for his poor handling of the southern border crisis. If she had her way, his annual salary would be slashed to $1.

I am grateful to serve as President for the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union, whose mission of education includes assuring consumers can make fair choices on where their food products are grown or raised. In this role, I represent over 15,000 family farmers and ranchers from Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico.

Our member-led policy makes it exceptionally clear that we support clear and transparent labeling within our food supply. When shopping for their families, consumers expect an easy and accurate way to determine where their food comes from.

Wyoming Congresswoman Harriet Hageman believes a U.S. Department of Agriculture proposal to require mandatory electronic ear tags for cattle and bison is as useful as a chicken-wire canoe.

Hageman has released an amendment to the USDA proposal to gut funding of the bill, which was first proposed back in January. In March, USDA extended the public comment period on the proposal.

According to the agency, the rule is needed to trace animals and eradicate disease.

U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman is becoming increasingly concerned by FBI efforts to watch for domestic terrorism in the United States.

Hageman tweeted Wednesday that a recent subpoena from the House Judiciary Committee shows multiple FBI field offices produced a memo targeting traditional Catholics as domestic terrorists.

Hageman speculated that FBI Director Christopher Wray may have lied about this under oath when he said only one field office produced the memo.

It's a can that's been kicked down this road for more than 20 years now, but labeling food products specifying country of origin remains one of agriculture's biggest beefs.

U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, R-Wyoming, is sponsoring a bill that would prohibit beef retailers from designating foreign beef as an American-made product. The legislation, dubbed The Country of Origin Labeling Enforcement Act, defines U.S. beef as "exclusively born, raised, slaughtered and packaged in the United States.”
