AGRICULTURE WAITS FOR BIG DECISIONS ON SUPREME COURT CASES
Jan. 3, 2022
National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB) reports:
The first week of the new year could be a big one for several agricultural groups and stakeholders.
The Supreme Court will likely hear several high-stakes cases that could affect America's farmers and ranchers. A DTN report says the court recently distributed three of four agriculture cases scheduled for a January 7 conference.
Those high-profile petitions include challenges to California's Prop 12, an appeals court ruling that eliminated year-round E15 ethanol, and a long-fought Clean Water Act case dealing with Environmental Protection Agency authority over farmers and ranchers.
Bayer has also filed a court petition on the Roundup settlement case that's worth many millions of dollars. While the case hasn't yet been distributed for a Supreme Court conference, the court recently invited the U.S. Solicitor General to file a brief in the case, asking for more information.
Justices hold a conference every Friday during their session to decide what petitions they'll accept.
