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.
Many in the Oklahoma farming industry are opposed to the EPA's consideration. One farmer said the possible regulations are ridiculous.
Roberts, a fourth generation farmer and rancher in Arcadia, said regulating dust in rural areas will hurt farmers' harvest, cultivation and livelihood.
"Anytime you work ground, you're going to have dust. I don't know how they'll regulate it," Roberts said. "The regulations are going to put us down and keep us from doing things we need to be doing because of the EPA."

They will simply install catalytic converters on farm plows.
Maybe the EPA can just regulate the wind?
I was going to fix that headline..... it could be so easy.. the wording is all there.. but alas I will not.. The EPA is out of control!
The EPA and the FDA are the enforcement arms of the
“get those people who think they can be independent”
agenda.
Any thing the government touches turns to dirt, or worse. Whatever the government regulates becomes expensive and scarce: Healthcare, oil, food.
Well gee.....
How about regulating all the Hot air (read CO2) emmanating from Washington DC?
Now THERE’s a start.....
Dust is a pollutant, CO2 is a pollutant, Nitrogen (N2?) is a pollutant. The elites want to control all life on this planet. They want to tax us for being alive. This is pure evil. Part of the devil’s plan to eliminate life on earth.
The EPA continues to rule the country without our consent. I guess that they are saying growing food is detrimental to our health?
The EPA should just use some of that Magic Fufu Dust to make the Earth all warm and happy!
...and city dust blowing into the farmlands contaminating the production areas and country side?
When are we cracking down on the EPA and the rest of these tyrants?
Not too many people I know feel all that sorry for their “dilemma” since it is mostly self induced.
They don’t care diddly about the erf.
They’re all about power and control for the left.
No, no, no, it’s proper name is ‘coarse particulate matter’.
Whodathunk that farming would cause ‘dust’?
We are NOT free as long as government is unchecked.
Hint: Long time mechanic and gas station owner fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for a gallon oil spill. A petty, mean EPA official bankrupted him. "When the shooting started" (of federal agents), the small civil war expanded into shooting EPA and FAA bureaucrats.
.....time to feed the hogs IMHO.
According to the signs along Interstate 5 south of Pacheco Pass to Los Angeles, Congress created the dust bowl.
