Wetlands ruling prompts lawsuit over subsidies in Delaware County farm
A Delaware County farmland owner sues the USDA after a tenant plans to plant corn and soybeans on nine acres the 2010 NRCS designation labels as wetlands. CTM Holdings and James Conlan own 1075 acres across Iowa counties. The suit cites a 2023 Supreme Court ruling narrowing Clean Water Act protections, arguing regulatory changes affect subsidies and farming practices near wetlands.
