The EPA is out of their minds. Abolish the EPA!
If approved, this would establish the most stringent and unparalleled regulation of dust in our nation’s history… or at least since 1978, when my mom switched to a Dyson vacuum cleaner featuring cyclonic separation.
“Many in the Oklahoma farming industry are opposed to the EPA’s consideration. One farmer said the possible regulations are ridiculous,” which really, even on the face of it, barely needs any further explanation whatsoever.
Look at our earlier story: EPA goes after Amish Farmers: Here
Yes, destroy our farms and the Government can take them over. Thats the plan isn’t it?
OKLAHOMA CITY — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is considering a crackdown on farm dust, so senators have signed a letter addressing their concerns on the possible regulations.
The letter dated July 23 to the EPA states, “If approved, would establish the most stringent and unparalleled regulation of dust in our nation’s history.” It further states, “We respect efforts for a clean and healthy environment, but not at the expense of common sense. These identified levels will be extremely burdensome for farmers and livestock producers to attain. Whether its livestock kicking up dust, soybeans being combined on a dry day in the fall, or driving a car down the gravel road, dust is a naturally occurring event.” Read the letter to EPA signed by 21 senators including Jim Inhofe and Tom Coburn
Many in the Oklahoma farming industry are opposed to the EPA’s consideration. One farmer said the possible regulations are ridiculous.
“It’s plain common sense, we don’t want to do anything detrimental,” said farmer Curtis Roberts. “If the dust is detrimental to us, it’s going to be to everybody. We’re not going to do anything to hurt ourselves or our farm.”

So I guess farm dust has joined the ranks of “pollutants” such as carbon dioxide, huh?
Yes, abolish the EPA!
