“The Department of Labor backed off the rule in February. The department now said it will not pursue the regulation again during Pres. Barack Obama’s administration.”
Code for they will ram it down farmers throats if obama is re-elected. It’s just a temporary backoff until they can slip it unnoticed into some other legislation.
Apparently Congress has already delegated authority to the Dept. of Labor to do whatever the hell it wants & that no new legislation would be needed.
