Environmental Protection Agency - a three-part story

Talk about overstepping their scope. From Gary Baise writing at Farm Futures: First - EPA's Water Police, Part One: Coming to Your Farm?
I just returned from Germany and Poland and was startled to discover the regulatory control the European Union exercises over its farmers and agriculture.

This should not be a surprise, however, when a farmer has the EU paying one-half the cost of his tractor and/or farm equipment.

In eastern Germany, we were also regaled with stories about the old communist government ordering planting on days it was raining.

Unfortunately we are headed in the same direction here.
Second - Water Police, Part Two: EPA Proposal Won't Help Ag Third - Water Police, Part Three: EPA's Definition of 'Tributary' This must be stopped in its tracks. It may not directly affect a city-dweller but it will most certainly show up in their food prices. A I have said before, this agency needs to have its budget cut by 90%. They initially did good work -- our rivers and air were dirty and now they are clean. Unfortunately, they fell victim to Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy. Posted by DaveH at April 16, 2014 3:37 PM
