[QUOTE="Dave, post: 111097, member: 498"] The Clean Air Act requires that emmissions of ammonia over 100 pounds a day be regulated. They figure that somewhere around 200-250 cows let off that 100 pounds a day. So any farm with over 250 cows is in potentual violation of the clean air act. There have already been some things come out of EPA on this issue. It is not just dairy either, this is any livestock operation. Unless congress changes the clean air act (can you say fat chance) this will likely be a big issue for the livestock industry to deal with in the future. Just like the clean water act, some areas of the country will try to drag their feet and not deal with it but the environmentalist will end up forcing the EPA to enforce the law. On the other hand no one has an idea how to control these emmissions. Right now the scientist are busy researching this to try to find the answers. Dave [/QUOTE]
