US Representative calls on Congress to pass clear, defined WOTUS rule

US Representative calls on Congress to pass clear, defined WOTUS rule

A Congressman from Nebraska says it’s time for lawmakers to intervene and regulate navigable waters for US farmers and ranchers.

Republican Mike Flood tells Brownfield the current Waters of the US is failing producers. “I’m hearing from ag producers that are saying they want to regulate my farm pond, the ditch and any possible body of water, stream or creek that runs through the United States.  It’s crazy and does not stop.”

He says some lawmakers may be trying to target confined animal feeding operations.
