Iowa ag leaders are applauding the Iowa Supreme Court’s decision in the Des Moines Water Works’ lawsuit against drainage districts in three Iowa counties.
The court ruled the utility will not be able to collect monetary damages from the drainage districts.
Kurt Hora of Washington, president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association, says it’s good news.
“But that doesn’t mean, as Iowa farmers, we’re going to stop doing what we’ve been doing,” Hora says.
