A court case pitting farmer against farmer in #Iowa could decide the fate of wetlands nationwide. There’s a provision in the US Farm Bill called Swampbuster which is designed to protect wetlands. However, one Iowa landowner is suing the Federal Government claiming Swampbuster is unconstitutional. Many environmentalists see it as the last guardrail against the destruction of vital #wetlands.
