Blame It On Dust
I think the dust did it! Yep regulations against farmer’s dust might have been the final straw that caused the president of the American Farm Bureau Federation to send a warning to Congress that “ It is time to stop the EPA.” Ouch, I’m Susan Allen this is Open Range stay tuned for why farmers and ranchers are fit to be tied when it comes to the Environmental Protection Agencies anti-ag antics. Last week at the 92nd annual gathering of the American Farm Bureau Federation the typically tepid group that grow the food we eat became heated. And they have a right to be, because American agriculture is under attack from an Environmental Protection Agency that kowtow’s to administration full radical environmentalists. In his initial address Farm Bureaus’ president Bob Stallman, wondered out loud why the EPA has in his words “ramped up it’s regulatory force at the very time agricultures environmental foot print is shrinking” ( He’s right, you know, we now grow more crops and cattle on far less land and with less impact than at any other time in history, think precision and not till farming.) Tallman called EPA’s “anti-anything but organic ag” stance as “making as much sense as a back pocket on a work shirt and warned that the Farm Bureau will not stand idly by while opponents of today’s American Agriculture try to drag farmers down , try to bury them in bureaucratic red tape and costly regulation, and try to destroy the most productive and efficient system in the world.”
