The National Turkey Federation released the following statement today after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a proposed rule to update WOTUS:

“Our industry believes strongly in responsibly managing the land and water involved in turkey production. The National Turkey Federation (NTF) appreciates the Trump Administration and EPA’s initiative aimed at establishing a clearer definition of Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) that can offer regulatory certainty for turkey farmers. NTF support efforts that bring clarity, consistency and practical guidance for agricultural operations.” – Leslee Oden, President & CEO, National Turkey Federation
