BLOOMINGTON - The following is a statement from Illinois Farm Bureau President Richard Guebert Jr. regarding the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Sackett v. EPA.

"Illinois Farm Bureau celebrates today's unanimous decision by the Supreme Court regarding Sackett v. EPA, which confirms EPA overstepped its authority under the Clean Water Act by restricting private property owners from developing their land."

"Additionally, this ruling is the law of the land and directs the Biden administration to revisit WOTUS and issue a clear rule that doesn't require farmers to hire a team of attorneys to care for their land."
