GUEST COMMENTARY Proposed regulation unfairly targets farms By Senator John Thune Agriculture is the largest sector of the South Dakota econ- omy, and ranching is one of the most significant components of agricultural production in our state. There is a proud ranching and farming tradition in South Dakota that is as integral to our culture as it is to our economy, and it should be preserved for future gen- erations. In 1999, an environmental group sued the Environmental Pro- tection Agency (EPA) to force the regulation of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. That lawsuit dragged on until 2007, when the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled that the EPA had to act upon carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act. Forced to act by the courts, the EPA then produced a draft plan to regulate greenhouse gas emis- sions, including carbon dioxide. While we can address concerns related to climate change through the promotion of clean energy, vir- tually every part of our economy would be affected by such a bur- densome plan, and livestock production in particular would suffer. Under the proposed EPA rules, industry experts predict that pro- ducers would face a tax of $175 for each dairy cow, $87.50 for each head of beef cattle, and $20 for each hog on farms that emit more than 100 tons of carbon equivalent each year. Such rules would sub- ject more than 20,000 farms or 90 percent of U.S. dairy, beef, and pork production to these fees. Obviously, such fees would be a devastating burden on our already strained livestock producers here in South Dakota and across the country and would increase the cost of food to all Amer- icans. It is of vital importance that lawmakers and regulators hear the voices of cattle producers when deciding on these rules, and I encourage South Dakota’s producers to learn more about the EPA’s public comment process, which ends in January 2009. Cats should come in pairs It is distressing that a court decision would lead to a regulato- ry change resulting in an enormous burden on America’s livestock industry without any legislative input from Congress, especially since Baxter and Bailey (both res- slept, cuddling up, but mostly the Clean Air Act never sought to regulate carbon dioxide.
