Missouri Congressman watches U.S. Supreme Court Case Closely that Could Have Big Impact on Agriculture

(MISSOURINET) –  A controversial interpretation of the Clean Water Act is now before the United States Supreme Court. The court will decide whether the Environmental Protection Agency is exceeding its Congressional authorization in enacting the Waters of the United States. Northern Missouri Congressman Sam Graves, a Republican, says the EPA is defying Congress by continuing to push WOTUS. . .

The Supreme Court heard oral arguments from an Idaho couple which has sued the EPA for blocking the construction of a house near the border with Canada. The EPA considers the property a wetland.
