A key priority for the American Farm Bureau Federation is the WOTUS rewrite. This stands for Waters of the United States. It’s a regulation that’s been back and forth over the past few decades. Courtney Briggs leads government affairs with Farm Bureau. She breaks down the status of WOTUS for Mid-West Farm Report. EPA is hosting regional roundtables primarily in the month of June. Briggs says this is a chance for farmers and ranchers to share their perspectives. EPA Administrator Michael Regan says the agency does want to stop the ping-ponging that’s been taking place over the past 12 years. He says EPA wants to provide more certainty with the rule this administration is writing. EPA is going back to the pre-2015 rule and making changes to satisfy the Supreme Court rulings that the Obama-era WOTUS was an overreach.
