The Environmental Protection Agency will delay implementation of the Renewable Fuels Standard and the Agriculture Department will pause rules affecting livestock as part of a freeze on regulations imposed by President Donald Trump's administration, trade groups said on Tuesday.
The Trump administration put a hold on new regulations immediately after he was sworn in last week, leading to the delayed implementation of 30 EPA rules that were finalized in the last weeks of Barack Obama's presidency.
At the USDA, "they put a regulatory freeze on everything that is in the pipeline," said Dave Warner, spokesman for the National Pork Producers Council.
The agency has put on hold new rules it had formerly said would help protect meat producers from mistreatment by packing companies and processors, Warner said. The pork council opposes the measures, saying they are not necessary.
New rules that would for the first time mandate specific space requirements for hens laying organic eggs also are affected by the freeze, he said.

Does this mean that dairy farmers are not going to have to install fart catchers on their cows?
Great news. It will save the farmers having to spend big bucks to follow Obama’s rules, and then likely having to spend more to go back to where they were.
Suspend them before you kill them! I hope Trump does this as widely as possible, to save tons of time and money.
