When one reads about these kinds of doings by our government, it is no wonder that feelings about the current administration run high. Is there any doubt about where this trajectory leads?
Yes..the EPA is hiring inspectors to inspect farms.
And they will prosecute any farmer that does not comply.
Farms must file emergency management plans (go get mop)
Farmers must train "first responders" (hand mop to responder)
Farmers must build containment facilities (bucket for mop)
Now, if you don't know this, USDA inspectors must have their own washroom facilities on site for where they inspect, be it a slaughterhouse or farm. It has specific building regulations, wall/floor regulations etc. and is for the exclusive use of the USDA inspector.
Do you think the USDA inspectors will share "their" washroom with the EPA inspectors or will a whole new facility need to be built so they can wash their hands after an inspection ??
And you wonder why small farmers are going out of business.
I can see this putting a halt to hobby farm dairy cheeses and reversing the newer trend of the return to micro-dairys.
Isn't there a czar of Obama's that has some tie to big dairy and the hormone used to get large production from dairy cattle? Dang, what is his name? Think he is one of the many former Monsanto guys.......
Regulate another part of the econmy is the key word with this administration.Scoailist always want control over production anf the product of that production, That is what socialism is.

Taylor..he's in the FDA now.
Monsanto sold their hormone because there was a big backlash.
Non hormone milk was labeled as such and Monsanto brought them to court and they lost. Monsanto sold the hormone to Eli Lilly..a drug maker.
Lord only knows what Eli Lilly is going to do with it.
EPA is a scary agency.....Pretty much can do anything they want!
If Obama cant pass it..He just lets the EPA work on it.
He couldn't pass Cap & Trade....so now he has the EPA doing an end run on alot of those C&T issues.
"Naturally, it usually applies to oil and natural gas outfits. But the EPA has discovered that milk contains “a percentage of animal fat, which is a non-petroleum oil,” as the agency put it in the Federal Register."
What about goat's milk ? Is that hazardous as well ?
