‘A great first step’: Indiana corn growers applaud WOTUS ruling

INDIANAPOLIS — The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the Environmental Protection Agency went too far with its enforcement of “waters of the U.S.” in the Clean Water Act.

Indiana Corn Growers Association was encouraged by the ruling.

“The court’s decision is something we’ve been waiting for, and we are glad that it finally came down how we expected,” said ICGA President Scott Smith, a farmer from Windfall.

“This is a great first step. The next step is working with EPA to develop a clear definition for WOTUS.”
