AFBF asks EPA to rescind proposed water rule

The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) recently released a comprehensive document explaining the inaccurate and misleading comments on the proposed “Waters of the U.S.” rule, citing specific references to the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposal.

“AFBF and several state Farm Bureaus have met with the EPA repeatedly, and each time agency officials have declined to grapple with the serious, real world implications of the rule,” AFBF President Bob Stallman said. “EPA is now engaged in an intensive public relations campaign, and we believe its statements are directly contrary to the reality of the proposed rule.”
