Oregon dairy farmers have long pushed the State to enforce rules for animal housing, manure control, and milk quality across dairy farms of all size, from 1 cow to 10,000 cows.


So you think it's ok to require a 3 cow farm to have the same manure disposal system that the 3000 cow farms have?




I think so.

Equal protection under the law should also mean everyone can get equally crushed by the law. If there are rules for cows, and you have cows, follow the rules. If you don’t like the rules get them changed.


Exempting small amounts of things is just government trickery to impose overly restrictive laws without risking intervention by citizens.






Ben you are not entirely wrong about "risking intervention" but it is really comparing apples and oranges in a case like this. 3 cows Out on a pasture vs a 3000 head herd.

Either someone with 3 cows will have to spend tens or hundreds thousands of dollars on a manure handling system or a 3000 dairy head can water the whole herd in the river with no manure management. Neither of those scenarios work well for the local community.
