Summary: Too Much, way too much cost We used to be the Land of the Free, not anymore, not really. Two main points to comment on 1. USDOT and America's farmers 2. California Agriculture and regulation USDOT regulators Anne Ferro and her boss Ray LaHood. What is next from them, tractor drivers pulling wagons to a grain elevator will need a CDL? Where does this all end? One of her comments " In a perfect world farm vehicles would only operate on farms, while commercial trucks would only operate on public roads." What world is she from?????? We have a farm tractor on a road almost every day of the year. Ray LaHood knows better, he needs to put an end to this madness. California Agriculture and regulation on the "left" coast. California if it was a country to itself would have the 8th largest economy in the world. I think California has lost all common sense and with the progressive liberals in total control out there all hope of getting it back is lost. Is the rest of country following California's "lead" in these areas? What other states and countries gain from all this madness? Water and its control will be the ultimate endgame for the regulators. I feel for the farmers left in that state.
