EPA agriculture adviser Rod Snyder knew he had a delicate task in convincing farmers the environmental agency wasn’t out to get them.
On Wednesday, his last day on the job, Snyder said he thinks he helped chip away at that adversarial relationship in ways that will benefit the next administration as well.
“That’s really at the heart of what we’ve been trying to do for the last 3 ½ years,” Snyder told POLITICO’s E&E News.

Snyder — who’s getting married this weekend and said he left the post as a “personal life choice” — served as a connection between EPA and the farmers he met on a regular basis, as well as between the environmental agency and the Department of Agriculture.
