Max Armstrong discussed what’s ahead for the next annual meeting of the American Farm Bureau Federation including a discussion of the expanded waterways rule – or Waters of the United States. It seeks to overcome work to limit the power of the EPA in managing the Clean Water Act. Max shares insights on the new rules offered by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. And he shares reaction for Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who says the government can protect waterways without adding red tape.
