Much to the chagrin of Grinch bureaucrats, some gift items wrapped in the 1,603-page, bipartisan $1.1 trillion “cromnibus” federal funding bill offer many farmers and ranchers good reasons to rejoice. Share the facts at CFACT.org: cfact.org/2014/12/22/spending-bill-brings-relief-to-rural-america/ Those glad tidings prevent the EPA from regulating farm ponds under navigable water legislation, or to put a cork in cattle flatulence as a climate threat. Also, a temporary moratorium is put on listing the greater sage grouse as an endangered species. If you hadn’t imagined that farm ponds were a big federal deal, just ask Andy Johnson. He got hit with a $75.000 per day — yup, per day — EPA fine for creating a watering hole for his cattle along the Six Mile Creek that crosses his rural Wyoming property. Can the Congress rein in the Green radicals in the Executive branch and stop them from doing more harm?
