The Federal government, and the courts who have foisted tortured interpretations of the Commerce Clause upon us, are broken beyond belief. And these idiots who are strangling all of us are funded by OUR tax dollars. We taxpayers are underwriting our own destruction.
This agency should be eliminated, right after the BATFE and Dept. of (re)Education.
So let’s make it harder for the people whom grow your food to do their jobs?
“Growing the economy” by making businesses jump through regulatory hoops.
So the farmer whose property is cut in half by a public road with fields on one side and grain storage on the other would technically be in violation if the grain trailer is hauled from the field to the silo?
Mental illness permeates government these days.
I drove grain from the field to the elevator in town by truck and tractor when i was 12-13 years old. Do what you have to do to survive..
To hell with the lawyers. “First, we kill all the bureaucrats...”.
It is time to start ignoring the fed’s. T
The Feds must think it’s called the Kill Commerce Clause.
Let them regulate it, then let them enforce it too. When the feds start stopping farmers here in Indiana then the brown stuff is going to hit the fan big time.
Hell, I drive my tractor to work all the time when I need to work on it here, are they going to demand I get this license also, when I don’t farm? Screw them, this is enough to start shooting over.
I grew up on a farm. Many summers were spent on the tractor, taking a couple wagon-loads of grain to the local Elevator; while Dad was on the combine filling another couple wagons for me to pick up and haul, on my return trip.
Now, the laws back then allowed children as young as 14 to drive a tractor on the road to town.
This law will hamstring the farmers - as it will prevent their children from contributing to the success of the farming operation. If the farmer has to HIRE someone to drive his grain to market, instead of relying upon his kids - this will drive even more farmers under.
I was driving grain trucks and machinery the week after I got my driver’s license. Most summer farm labor is under 21 and part of that is driving and moving equipment. Most states require age 21 to get a CDL.
This is stupid.
Chickens, coming hom to roost . . . baby.
I'm ambivalet on this. I hate to see more regulation, but I've also seen farmers here in GA drive farm machinery on the roads like they were total morons. Pay absolutely no attention to stop signs, and then go 30 mph below the speed limit down the middle of the road once they get in front of you. Hold up a string of 25 or 30 vehicles while going 10 mph and failing to pull over periodically to let them pass (as is required by state la here in GA).
This is all part of the plan.
Unmitigated BULL$HIT!
How can we eat our peas if the farmer can’t get them to market?
That is an awful lot of people for an agency that has only a few basic functions under “interstate commerce”.
Keep your equipment in good repair when crossing a state line.
Don’t drive for too long or in a unsafe manner when crossing state lines.
Don’t overload your vehicle when crossing a state line.
Unless it crosses a state line or directly related to it, it’s not “interstate”. Unfortunately the courts folded on that issue back the second Roosevelt administration.
These days breathing is “interstate commerce” for the Obama administration.
We are being funneled into a hell of tyranny.
90% of what the fedgov does is not only unconstitutional, it’s downright evil and hatefully destructive.
Why in hell is there something called the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and why the hell can it make up whatever crap it wants to and force everyone to obey it? Who died and made it god????
TMG - this type of creeping oppression - especially against the few producers left in the country - boils my blood. Pitchforks!
