Nebraska Farm Bureau leaders want to see House Senate conferees move forward on passing the Water Resources Development Legislation.  Farm Bureau’s National Affairs Coordinator Jordan Dux says there’s very little difference between the two versions of the measure. He says the legislation is important for advancing agricultural exports.

Dux says the WRDA measure also offers an opportunity for Congress to bring some much needed regulatory fixes that could be costly and burdensome for farmers and ranchers.

Dux says his group supported both the House and Senate WRDA bills and just want to see a good compromise get approved.
