The USDA has finalized a rule defining highly erodible land and wetland conservation. NDFB President Daryl Lies says more needs to be done to help farmers. “I think everyone that deals with wetland compliance issues agrees we wanted them to do more, but that’s probably a continuing battle we’ll have.” Lies says a new rule can be created for items not addressed in this final rule. “Maybe we need to have hearings on the appeals process and get some changes implemented there. It seems like the same people are the judge and jury throughout the process. They can delay things out and make it costly to address these issues.”
