Missouri Farm Bureau’s President is calling for farmer support against the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers reinstating the Obama-era Waters of the U.S. rule.
Garrett Hawkins tells Brownfield farmers need to be heard before the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers’ public comment period ends today.
“We know you’re tired; we’re all tired of having this discussion,” he said. “But we know what happens if we don’t engage, the pendulum will swing back and swing back in a way that we don’t like.”
Hawkins said farmers have been caught in the crossfire ever since the WOTUS debate began in the 70’s.
