NCBA's Chief Environment Counsel, Scott Yager, joins the podcast to discuss the history of the Navigable Waters Protection Rule. Dating back to 1986, the definition of federal waters has been debated by the Supreme Court of the United States. Yager discusses the evolution of regulations that define a federal waterway and how those rules have impacted farms and ranches over the years. He also shares an update on the current Navigable Waters Protection Rule and what NCBA is doing to ensure farms and ranches can efficiently operate.
