National Milk asks EPA to hold-off
National Milk Producers Federation is asking the Environmental Protection Agency to hold-off on implementing the Clean Water Act. In a letter to EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers on Monday, NMPF stated that if the preliminary injunction issued by a North Dakota judge on Thursday applies only to the 13 states involved in that lawsuit, it would create a confusing double-standard for dairy farmers. Senior Vice President Chris Galen says it is a matter of fairness for all produces across the country.
NMPF submitted comments in November of 2014 expressing concerns over the lack of clarity and certainty for dairy producers should the rule proceed. Galen says many of those same concerns were brought forth by Judge Ralph Erickson’s ruling last week.
