The members of American Farm Bureau Federation across the nation got a clear idea about what the leaders of their organization thought regarding the Environmental Protection Agency through their president's speech at the annual meeting. It was the ninety second annual meeting of the federation which took place in Atlanta on Sunday. The president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, Bob Stallman, mentioned that the rules and regulations regarding the greenhouse gasses, dust and water are the factors endangering agriculture. He also said that their message to the Congress about the Environmental Protection Agency was very clear i. e. the agency has to be stopped.

Stallman also made it clear that they would not just rely on the congress and sit back but the AFBF will seek the intervention of the courts. The federation is already involved in a legal battle with the EPA over the gas regulations. And in addition to that Bob Stallman has also declared that the Farm Bureau is about to take legal action against the Environmental Agency's regulation of Chesapeake Bay of total maximum daily-load.

The Farm Bureau president of Indiana, Mr. Don Villock said that the farmers of Indiana will also support the regulation fight. He said that the EPA has been setting rules and regulations beyond what is required to protect the environment. Villwock also stated that the EPA had been after the farmers of Indiana for quite some time now.

Mr. Don Villock also welcomed the thought of having a delegate debate over the bill policy. He said that the debate and the discussions will be lively as there will be talks regarding the needs of the farmers of the south and also of those from the Midwest. He did mention that keeping in mind the budget restrictions there has to be several compromises in order to produce a committed solution to the farm bill policy. The same things were pointed out by the AFBF head Mr. Bob Stallman at the annual 92nd meeting.
