    My sympathies would be with them except for the fact that I'm pretty sure they're no more reasonable than anybody else.

      20-30 years we'll all be doing vertical farming in cities anyway.

        Keep going with your insanity.
        Aussie farmers will find it much easier to compete. GO THE EPA.

          I'd love to see the data showing the effect of "coarse particulate matter" on human health. It's likely to be out of Al Gores "The big colouring book of global warming psi-ense ".

          If dust is a meaningful health hazard, then the EPA should be prepared to regulate the levels of pollen produced by farms. If pollen isnt a "coarse particulate matter" that effects human health, then I dont know what is. Clearly, scientists have agreed that farms are "pollen factories" that need to be closed before more damage is done.

          We need a pollen Czar as well as a global warming Czar!

              I saw a claim for farm dust once. Cattle farm, out in the midwest. Been there forever. Then a development is put in nearby. Guess what the folks who bought those houses got to experience? "Airborn particulate matter" is how the lawsuit termed it. And odors, of course.

              Who bought the ****ing houses next to the cattle farm, *****? I'm pretty sure they lost, or settled for a small sum. Silly suit.

              I've no idea, really, about this regulation. Off the top of my head, it does seem unworkable.

                  Do a google search for respiratory illnesses during the dustbowl years. I'm sure you'll be enlightened.

                  On top of that the atmospheric conditions that gave rise to the dustbowl are starting to reoccur. Some thought going into farming techniques would be welcome.

                    When we have vehicle emissions solved, maybe I'll worry about dirt.

                      If I were you, I'd be more concerned about dirt. Or at least the 6 feet that's gonna be over you, pardner.
