"The Biden Administration is trying to bring the Obama-era WOTUS rules back with vengeance. Under their proposal, 97% – that’s right, 97% – of Iowa land would be subject to federal regulation. I just voted to denounce this proposed power grab that undermines property rights of Americans and hurts our farmers who feed and fuel the world, all while working to be conscious caretakers of our environment," said Congresswoman Ashley Hinson in the video. "We have to push back against the WOTUS overreach, and we are. Additionally, yesterday I introduced the bipartisan PRECISE Act – legislation that makes it easier for farmers to access precision agriculture tools. The contrast is clear: empower farmers or empower bureaucrats."
