But I also take a broader view on the US water issue than most farmers. For example, Minnesota farmers may not be concerned about Toledo’s drinking water issue, but the EPA certainly does and therefore, the EPA is going to attempt to solve these important issues somehow…if no one else does.

I think the Farm Bureau and other’s attempts against the new rule will be successful – Ag will win this battle. But the war will continue, as our state and national water issues will not go away because a bad law is defeated.

Ag has been successful using a defensive strategy for as long as I can recall. But future successes will depend on a more offensive strategy. Agriculture, agribusiness and ag professionals are in a great position to move the ball in the direction they need to.
