A federal judge has ordered the Dakota Access Pipeline to be
emptied while the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducts analysis of how a leak
could affect Lake Oahe on the Missouri River in South Dakota. In an interview
with Brownfield Ag News, South Dakota Farm Bureau President Scott VanderWal said
the South Dakota Farm Bureau had policy supporting the pipeline when it was
proposed, and now is concerned because of the possible precedent set by halting
operation.
