Virtually everyone in mainstream agricultural circles agrees that the controversial “Waters of the United States” rule is a mistake. WOTUS, as it’s commonly known, would redefine how U.S. waters are subject to federal regulations under the Clean Water Act.
Now, President Donald Trump has signed an order pushing back implementation of WOTUS. Whether you support or oppose WOTUS, whether you like or dislike Trump, you won’t argue that his WOTUS order is consistent with his postions on the campaign trail.
Regulation, trade, immigration -- Trump is involved, or soon will, in a number of issues with great importance to U.S. ag. It's early, I know, but how do you assess Trump's overall work on ag so far?
