A Nebraska rancher says she’s frustrated by the lack of clarity surrounding the latest Waters of the United States rule.
Barb Cooksley tells Brownfield Wednesday’s injunction blocking the rule in 24 states is good news for agriculture, but it’s not enough. “It doesn’t matter which administration tries to define it. It’s the fact that we’re still trying to define it and regulate it makes it hard for not just for cow/calf producers that work directly with the ground but commercial builders (and) farmers.”
She says there’s still plenty of uncertainty and uses digging a water line to provide an additional resource for livestock and wildlife as an example.
