The environment must have insulted Trump's hair, because this administration absolutely hates it. They don't just not care about the environment. They are deliberately fucking it in the face of people telling them how much we need to help it.

The rule that was developed in 2015 was a significant overreach, said Don Parrish, director of regulatory relations with the American Farm Bureau Federation, which has lobbied for the repeal and replacement of the rule. It overstepped the limit of protecting clean water and tried to regulate land use. It created liabilities that can end up putting farmers in jail.

As someone who works with government regulations every day, I assume this one was another redundant regulation that didn't actually accomplish anything

Regulating land use is literally part of protecting clean water, holy shit these people are evil.

Yes, the only answer to "Why?" is "Because it costs them money to maintain higher standards".

Remember all those E. Coli outbreaks we had related to Romaine Lettuce? Which were there result of the farmers using literal shitty water to irrigate the crops?

Under Obama the FDA came up with strict testing requirements (for the water being used) to try and prevent/lessen these occurrences. It was supposed to take effect in 2018.

Guess what was pushed back another 4 years shortly after Trump took office.

Guess how many major E. Coli outbreaks we had in 2018.

Under the rule, farmers using land near streams and wetlands were restricted from doing certain kinds of plowing and from planting certain crops, and would have been required to obtain E.P.A. permits in order to use chemical pesticides and fertilizers that could have run off into those bodies of water. Those restrictions will now be lifted.


Damnit Trump.


cant wait till he gets voted out. maybe fix at least the clean water bill. it also has cause/effect on fish.

Yeah. If I'm being honest I don't care about some social issues as much as environmental issues like this. This is just straight evil.

You do realize there a Many, Many farms in New York, don't you?
Many of which are true family farms.
There greatest threat probably has more to do with factory farming and suburban sprawl.
