The American Farm Bureau Federation and Fertilizer Institute have recruited 21 states from across the country to support their efforts to derail Chesapeake Bay restoration. Together, they're seeking to overturn the recent ruling which declared the science-based pollution limits and the cleanup plan legal.

The Chesapeake Bay Foundation says to these special interests and to Texas, Indiana, Kansas, Alaska, and the other 17 states, don't tell us how to restore clean water in our backyard!

Each of the six Bay states and the District of Columbia—including hard-working farmers, businesses, and individuals—are working together. We are well on our way to making our rivers and streams safer, improving our habitat, protecting human health, and strengthening local economies.
