These are the unspoken words being told agriculture. Congress is pushing at warp speed to forever shackle our industry to the regulatory whims of EPA and FDA.

In the name of global warming, clean water and safer food they boldly charge. What is our response? "The costs of these burdens will be unbearable."

Congressional leadership, soccer moms and Joe six-pack don't care! We need to vividly explain to them this avalanche of regs and costs will ultimately mean their children and grandchildren will be dependent on imported food. Then in 25 years when they ride their mopeds through the trees where food once grew we can politely tell them "We told you so."
