Thursday, April 25, 2024
The House Agriculture Committee resumes its focus on the next farm bill this week, with hearings that will cover commodity programs, crop insurance and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Farmers are catching up fast on planting, although there continue to be significant delays in North Dakota and Minnesota affecting both corn and spring wheat.
Agricultural practices that contribute to nutrient pollution came in for severe criticism at a Midwest regional roundtable Monday hosted by the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers to gather input on defining “waters of the U.S.” under the Clean Water Act.
More than a dozen farm groups are formally supporting a pair of Idaho landowners in a Supreme Court case that could determine the regulatory reach of the Clean Water Act.
Farm groups are asking the Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers to stop working on a "foundational rule" to define "waters of the U.S" because the Supreme Court has decided to take up the issue.
The Supreme Court could issue a new decision outlining the scope of Clean Water Act jurisdiction by this summer, even as the EPA and Army Corps of Engineers work on a new definition of “waters of the U.S.”
The leader of the American Farm Bureau Federation used his opening address to the group’s annual gathering to discuss the organization’s efforts to shape climate policy on Capitol Hill and through the regulatory process.
