Damned Obama, er oops, Trump EPA... Farmer faces $2.8 million fine after plowing fieldDamon Arthur, Record Searchlight Published 5:57 p.m. PT May 22, 2017 | Updated 9:15 a.m. PT May 25, 2017 A farmer faces trial in federal court this summer and a $2.8 million fine for failing to get a permit to plow his field and plant wheat in Tehama County. A lawyer for Duarte Nursery said the case is important because it could set a precedent requiring other farmers to obtain costly, time-consuming permits just to plow their fields. “The case is the first time that we’re aware of that says you need to get a (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) permit to plow to grow crops,” said Anthony Francois, an attorney for the Pacific Legal Foundation. “We’re not going to produce much food under those kinds of regulations,” he said www.redding.com/story/news/2017/05/23/farmer-faces-2-8-million-fine-plowing-field/336407001/
