Dale stated that the agricultural field had to readjust in order to increase and to streamline Norwegian food production.

The farmer's union in return accused the government of not willing to focus on agriculture as a whole and not to forward with the policies set out by the Storting.

Dale argued that the end goal was not reachable within a defendable budget, and that they weren't willing to negotiate within the moderation limits.

He also expressed that their demand was to high, while the government decided to stand by their offer of 410 million NOK, and for it to be approved by the Storting.

He commented that it wasn't okay to export subsided sheep meat and disrupt the trade balance to one of the world’s poorest countries.

[11] In November, Dale took a stand against a local pastor, Hans Reite, from his hometown, when he made a post where he said that LGBT individuals should carry out their life and activities in secret.

Reite responded by saying that Dale should focus on being agriculture minister, and that he doesn't know the Bible as well as he does; and in addition that he had received a lot of support.

[15] In early August, Dale rejected the idea of crisis help package to farmers who were effected by sun drought that summer.

We have a very good crop damage compensation scheme, and it will be further charged, but a special crisis package is not relevant at the time being".

He succeeded Ketil Solvik-Olsen, who had resigned to join his wife in Birmingham, Alabama, where she had gotten a position at a children's hospital.

[20] In August, Dale reiterated his remarks of banning electric scooters after local politicians in Trondheim decided to strengthen regulation on their use.

The Norwegian Public Roads Administration will therefore turn every stone to find solutions that will cut costs so that the project can be implemented".
