Ditch the Rule


Here we go again. The EPA is bound and determined to crush the family farm - and even the backyard garden - with its new Waters of the U.S. rule. Small ponds, ditches, puddles, and rainwater all come under the federal government's control with this proposed rule. It just amazes me that the feds think they know so much more about agriculture than do 7th generation farmers.

See what the new rule is all about and how to voice your concern.

Read what Farm Bureau has to say, and watch this great video, starring a Missouri farm family. Lonnie's and my heritage is agricultural, and we hate to see what would happen to the usually-dry ditch behind our house by the time the EPA gets through with it.
