In a news release last week, the Environmental Protection Agency labeled hay a pollutant, according to the Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, United Stockgrowers of America (R-CALF USA). A non-profit organization representing thousands of U.S. cattle producers, R-CALF USA says the EPA’s outlandish affidavit could potentially require farmers and ranchers to store hay in pollution containment zones.

Treat humanity like concentrated evil like in the Time Bandit flick from the 80s.
I think the EPA should be given a two week notice.
You’re fired!
The EPA while arguably was intended to protect America from certain things like toxic waste dumpers has gone WAY too far.
At this juncture for America it needs more leeway, not EPA roadblocks.
The EPA is one of the the most powerful tools Obama has in his quest to destroy America.
Hay is for horses.
EPA is horse manure.
“After the news was published around the country, we received a call from a water engineer offering assistance. The engineer advised us that if we had been members of the Kansas Livestock Association,(as opposed to the Kansas Cattlemen’s Association which represents independent cattlemen) we most likely wouldn’t have seen an EPA inspector.”

Can you say ‘Corporatism’?
This is almost comical as hay bales are often used to contain runoff from construction sites. Now that the wondrous EPA has declared hay a pollutant, what will be used to contain the runoff from the hay bales?
I know a full time farmer in N.W. Kansas who grows hay for sale and to feed his cattle. I once asked him why he left those huge rolls of hay out in the fields and he replied that it was easier to pick them up with his truck as needed and take one over to feed his cattle than to pick them all up and store them in one location.
He also said that if you store them all together, a chance fire could destroy all of it forcing him to purchase the feed until the following season........
I declare the EPA a pollutant.
ICBW, but isn't that straw?
Within the City of Orlando you have to specify synthetic hay bales, because as the EPA pointed out, hay bales are pollutants and could cause a catastrophe if some got into the river, lake, etc. that they are being used to protect.
The only pollution that I fear is from the EPA!
Hermann Cain is right: We need to get rid of the EPA.
Common sense tells you that a feed lots exist to feed grain not hay.
I wonder how many cow pattys 12,000 cow generate daily.
Yes it is out of control. The EPA has got to go and the FDA is almost as bad. Now the FDA is going to try to take vitamins and supplements off the shelves. Congress does nothing to stop this stuff.
FDA will not allow the use of antibiotics and other drugs for stock and poultry in the US but will allow import of meat from out of country using the same stuff or worse.
When is this madness going to end?
You said it! This Country needs to get 'Right' with God (read that as REPENT) and vote for Herman Cain!
My husband and I will write-in his name on the ballot if it isn't there come Election Day.
