It's been discussed here before. This proposal is so far off the wall it'll never go through. The only way we can eliminate dust is to somehow convince the 'ol boy upstairs to change the laws of nature because we humans aren't going to change it with our man made laws. Jim

It may be stupid but I wouldn't be suprised if they pass it someday. We are in the minority here. When those guys in the city get their car dusty that one day a year you combine beans... or the other day in the year you work ground. Your gonna be the criminal, How dare you.
That fart tax will pass someday too. They just put the idea out there now and in 10 years it will be the most horrible thing on the planet.

A major combine maker has already addressed this issue in prototypes.

MORE STUPIDITY FROM DC
Don"t see "em cracking down on the Manure coming out of the DC! There was talk of a per animal flatulance tax by our Blind Idiot of a Governor here in NY...imagine if they had that in DC? Every time a politician opened their mouth the ol" flatulance tax would kick in!
One of the new laws I will enact when I get to be prez: Upon entrance to law school, every student will sign a legal and binding agreement that upon completeion of their law degree they will NOT seek public office or accept appointment or nomination to the same. Viloation will result in automatic/instant revocation of all law credentials, 3 years in prison, followed by 2 years of transitional living working on a rural farm: this will include hunting and fishing to supplement their diet, and living where it is necessary to drive a rugged 4 wheel drive vehicle to get anywhere. they would also be required to pay for everything like us common folk...no insurance freebies, loaner or work vehicles...

Thought farmers were stanch advocates for property rights? Why shouldn't a farmer have to respect his neighbor's
property rights? Or is it like welfare OK if they get it in the form or 'crop supports' but not OK for someone in the city?

What I find remarkable is that 135 car coal trains can rattle across our country leaving a cloud of black dust and it's not an issue.

A small cyclone on the side of a combine could drop 3/4 of the dust they make back down onto the ground instead of spewing into the air. That dust isn"t good to breath for anyone. I think some minor steps would be a good idea.

Dusst is not the issue, it's the wind. If there were no wind, dust coming from a field cultivator or out of a combine would fall right back on the field.
Since God controls the wind, I guess they will have to sue God.

Next thing you know. They will be telling us how much rain can fall on our land. Then try to fine us if we get to much.
Ultradog MN,
You gotta remember: These eco-Nazis (EPA) have to invent new regulations to justify their jobs and build their empires. Awhile back, it was the fart tax, then the dust regulation. How many govt workers do you think get a paycheck whose job it is to monitor air pollution around cities and issue "ozone action day" alerts telling us not to cut our grass or fill up our cars? I'd like to see a controlled study to see if any of their asinine recommendations even do any good.
They won't be satisfied until the US is as pristine as it was 1000 years ago and man has been eliminated from it. Meanwhile, China, India and other countries are kicking our butt in the global market partly because they don't have to spend money to comply with government regulations that make no sense.

The American Lung Association is running radio ads about wanting to clean the air both outdoors and in. The EPA has their RRP rules with incredible penalties and is running TV ads showing paint being poured into children's cereal. I think they are all in the same boat. Rules are easy to pass if there is a perception of a crisis.

Cities in NC now charge a fee for letting rainwater run off your roof- I am not making this up!

Your not serious are you? Considering most of the dust is not soil or dirt but chaff and straw that needs to be spread the width of the cut.
Neighbors are all buying 40 and 45 foot heads and I hear one company now has a 50 footer. That takes a powerful chopper/spreader and is going to make "dust" no matter what you do.

I think a farmer's non-farming neighbor does have property rights. He has the right to purchase property next to a farm and get dusted from early spring to late fall and like it.
