Even by New York standards, 300 cows, while above average, is not a “large” dairy farm. But as usual the environazis have no real rationale for this decision. How is the runoff any different for a farm of 400 split into two herds of 200 cows each (by, say, inheritance) with access to the same watershed? Yet one is required to obey nitrogen restrictions while the other two are exempt.

Cuomo, what are you doing helping business? Aren’t you worried they are going to throw you out of the Club for Anti-growth?

Oh, there is an ulterior motive. OK, I understand.

from the article: "Environmental groups are pushing back against Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration’s plan to support a growing yogurt industry by easing regulations on large-scale dairy operations."

FredZarguna: "Even by New York standards, 300 cows, while above average, is not a “large” dairy farm."

Right Wing Assault: "Cuomo, what are you doing helping business?"

muawiyah: "This is where Conservatism leaps in to protect the status quo, no matter how evil it might be, unless the Democrats and their running dog lackeys GIVE UP SOMETHING WE WANT!"

All this is not so difficult, once you see the basics:

Bottom line: every year the total number of farms, farmers and cows declines, while milk production per cow increases.
So, farms which were once classified as "large" are now considered "small". Therefore, increasing New York's "small farm" limits from 200 to 300 cows is a more-or-less routine adjustment to changing economic reality.

Remember, farmers in general are natural Republicans -- you might say they are the base of our base -- unless we find new ways to abuse them, which let us pray, we will not ever do.

As for muawiyah extracting more concessions from Liberals, well, good luck with that, FRiend... ;-)
