AFBF speaks on Fox News re: Clean Water Restoration Act
American Farm Bureau Federation,
Support local Oregon farm Bureau here
How passage of the Clean Water Restoration Act would affect farmers and ranchers was the subject of a Fox News broadcast story on Sunday. Don Parrish, water expert with the American Farm Bureau Federation, appeared live on a segment about the issue.
Parrish explained that removing the word “navigable” from the Clean Water Act would harm America’s food producers by allowing federal regulation of all interstate and intrastate waters, including puddles, ditches and farm ponds. If the bill becomes law, farmers and ranchers would likely be forced to apply for expensive permits, Parrish said. Jump to AFBF’s Don Parrish’s interview in story (video):

It’s simply outrageous to require farmers to maintain clean water! Our fertile American soils are meant to fund the vacation homes of ADM shareholders in New York, not to sustain a a few ducks for hunters and bird watchers in [name your state and county].
