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.

The letter dated July 23 to the EPA states, "If approved, would establish the most stringent and unparalleled regulation of dust in our nation's history." It further states, "We respect efforts for a clean and healthy environment, but not at the expense of common sense. These identified levels will be extremely burdensome for farmers and livestock producers to attain. Whether its livestock kicking up dust, soybeans being combined on a dry day in the fall, or driving a car down the gravel road, dust is a naturally occurring event."

The U.S. government gestapo is at it again in its crusade against raw milk. Recently, the jackboots swarmed a Pennsylvania Amish man's private dairy farm for the second time, falsely accusing him of violating the ridiculous prohibition on selling raw milk across state lines.

Farmer Dan Allgyer's farm was raided by the same agents who paid him a visit back in February, telling him both times that they were there for an "inspection". Just like last time, the agents drove flagrantly past "No Trespassing" and "Private Property", this time arriving around 4:30 a.m. when Allgyer's family was still asleep and as he was preparing to milk his cows.

The group began to interrogate Allgyer, and served him a warrant claiming they had "credible evidence" that he was involved in interstate commerce involving raw milk. According to Allgyer's personal account, upon being questioned as to why the agents were at the farm so early when the warrant clearly stated that it was valid only at "reasonable times during ordinary business hours", one of them retorted that "ordinary business hours for agriculture start at 5 a.m."
