Obama EPA Illegally Hands Over Info on Livestock Producers to Extremist Animal Rights Groups
NCBA and the National Pork Producers Council are both furious with EPA for handing extremist groups illegally gathered data on farmers who operate confined animal feeding operations.
NCBA said early this week it was notified by the EPA that the agency had been collecting information from states on CAFOs. The information was requested by extremist groups, including Earth Justice, the Pew Charitable Trust and the Natural Resources Defense Council through a Freedom of Information Act request and was given to them.
The information released by EPA covers livestock operations in more than 30 states, including many family farmers who feed less than 1,000 head and are not subject to regulation under the Clean Water Act.
“When we reviewed the information submitted by the states and released by EPA, we were alarmed at the detail of the information provided on hard working family farmers and ranchers, family operations including my own,” said NCBA past president J.D. Alexander, a cattle feeder from Pilger, Nebraska.
“It is beyond comprehension to me that with threats to my family from harassment atop bio-security concerns, that EPA would gather this information only to release it to these groups. This information details my family’s home address and geographic coordinates. The only thing it doesn’t do is chauffeur these extremists to my house. For some operations, even telephone numbers and deceased relatives are listed.”
The problem had recent roots in January 2012 when EPA proposed the Clean Water Act Section 308 CAFO Reporting rule to collect information from CAFOs and make it publicly available and readily searchable through their website.

You can call them whatever you want, so long as don't feed the pigs for a couple of days before 'they' show up. :popcorn:

You guys are talking about the big time farmers that raise a few thousand head of hogs on a farm that may belong to someone in China. Our big farms have been bought up by the Chinese and run by Americans in the last few years.
Small time farms owned by Americans are going down the tube, the new rules and regulations are driving them out of business.
Difficult to own a family owned farm today, Government comes in to tell you what you can plant, Neighbor has planted crops that are are bio, your own crops are natural self replicating, darn if you cannot be sued for contaminating the genetically changed crops of the neighbors.
Tenn. when I lived there everyone raised goats, the regulations on cows milk was killing the farmers, the goats milk had few regulations, no sterile lines from the milking sheds, hell one could milk a goat in their back yard. The milk was turned into cheese and it was easier to keep goats then cows.
I understand why people get upset at farmers with 500 hogs on a 20 acre farm. All that shit and piss is going into the ground and could mix with the well water of the neighbors. Now you take a farm that has 3,000 hogs year after year, DON'T drink the water.

Where the hell are the GOP "leaders"? All these effin softballs Obama keeps pitching and these morons in the opposition continually refuse to swing the bat

I'm glad my uncle and cousins got out of hog farming now. I don't know how, but they've been able to keep the farm that has been in our family for over 150 years. I'm even more surprised, since its in Illinois.

One more good reason for us country folk to be prepared.
