EPA restrictions on farm dust are overzealous & hyperactive

Farmers and producers are a crucial part of the economy here in Iowa. Today, small family farms across Iowa are at risk due to the overzealous and hyperactive federal government.

Agencies like the EPA and FDA consistently overstep the boundaries of common sense with regulations like the "Waters of the US" (WOTUS) act and restrictions on farm dust. These agencies are making it increasingly difficult for family farms to effectively operate their small businesses.
