R-CALF at Odds With Farm Bureau
Published Tuesday, December 02, 2008 at 04:51 AM
R-CALF USA Vice President Randy Stevenson says if that were true, it would essentially prohibit the raising of livestock. But he says the EPA is not proposing this tax, which could result if greenhouse gases were regulated under the Act. He says the EPA made it very clear in its notice that it opposes such regulation under the Act. EPA has asked for public comments in order to obtain alternatives for regulating greenhouse gases that would not have the dire consequences that could potentially result if regulated under the Act. Stevenson says the livestock industry and livestock producers should oppose any attempt to tax livestock as a means of regulating greenhouse gases, but they should not be scared into action with false information.
