Dusty is the Farmer?

Apparently the U.S. EPA is giving consideration as to how they can crackdown on farm dust. Farm dust can be generated by livestock walking, the harvesting of soybeans on a dry day or a vehicle driving on a gravel road. These and similar activities occur frequently on any working farm.

Many who have worked in industry have experienced how hard it is to control dust from a parking lot or material handling operation. That is absolutely peanuts compared to controlling dust from farm activities!
