American Farm Bureau Federation v. United States

American Farm Bureau Federation v. United States is a legal case where the Farm Bureau challenged the government's implementation of the Clean Water Act, specifically how it regulates waterways and land. The organization argued that the regulations placed unnecessary burdens on farmers and landowners. The court ultimately ruled on the definition of what constitutes a "water of the United States," impacting how federal environmental laws apply to agricultural lands. This case highlights the balance between environmental protection and the interests of the agricultural industry.
