EPA Goes After Low-Income Farmers In Land Grab
These goals, or total maximum daily loads (TMDL), will give EPA total control over land use throughout the six states and the District of Columbia that make up the Chesapeake Watershed. For farmers in Pendleton County, the effects will be immediate and drastic. Or, to quote from a brief the county and several other nearby counties filed in the Third Circuit Court: “It is anticipated that a significant amount of Pendleton county farmland will have to be removed from production due to its proximity to waterways and the resulting impact of the Bay TMDL on local land use.”

Well, is anyone surprised that the Feds are doing such as this?

Ask the folks in Utah, Montana and Wyoming..........

I know of several springs and aquifers in Florida that have been contaminated by agricultural runoff. This is not the 1960-90s. Most farmers are very much aware of the problems that their activities create and the runoff management practices that minimizes or eliminates the problems. Some refuse to incorporate those practices. Since they refuse to implement acceptable runoff practices, we have to depend on the government to protect the rest of us. As a Christian, and a tree farmer, I believe that I am responsible for the contamination resulting from my activities, and God expects me to eliminate them as soon as I recognize them.

If you have a better way, I'd like to see it.

One of the most important functions of the Government it to protect the citizens. I want the government to do its job. How about taking a little time away from your gloom and doom prognostications and study the conditions of the rivers, lakes and air pollution in the last half of the 20th century. Concentrate on the forties through the early seventies. Then take away the standards set up by the government in the sixties through the end of the century, and extrapolate the conditions of those early days into today. Is that what you want?

Do you realize the Government has and is orchestrating these problems, and you want to give them free reign?

He's not really broke, he is just a 53 million dollars in debt and doesn't want to use his own money to pay it.
