I know we are the land of the free and the home of the brave but our prosperity has brought us regulations we as farmers can barely handle?<br /><br />On the negative side, I can see why the fertilizer law came into place in Ohio. Too many farmers didn't do what I think they should do. I am not them and they are not me.<br /><br />Can't we meet in the middle?<br /><br />Ed WinkleEd Winklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299533401041542458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-30651771778301713172014-04-22T11:54:11.534-04:002014-04-22T11:54:11.534-04:00Regulation seems sometimes a bit overreaching in t...Regulation seems sometimes a bit overreaching in the U.S., but I used "seems" because I don't know the whole story behind the news that are reported by politicized media. Most of the times, it turns out to be sensationalism for some political agenda.<br />That said, the regulations only put in word and law and practice what responsible people should be doing naturally anyway. But they don't always, for many different reasons. The libertarian argument that they do naturally does not fly. I don't think the problem is with the regulations, more with how they are applied. They should be used for education purpose first, rather than heavy handed punitive results on first strike, which does not give the maybe unaware offender the opportunity to improve and fix the problem. But it's already how it works, isn't it? The first strike is usually just a notification, to start the paper trail if the situation does not improve.Chimelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601975288198239103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6975161130020685883.post-66776550572696936292014-04-22T11:36:40.233-04:002014-04-22T11:36:40.233-04:00Everything comes with a cost.Everything comes with a cost.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
