During a town hall meeting at Wyffels Hybrids in Atkinson, Illinois, a farmer expressed concern to President Obama about forthcoming regulations. The man stated that people would rather be farming than "filling out forms and permits to do what we like to do." President Obama told the farmer "don't always believe what you hear" and blamed Washington for ginning up speculation. Obama added that, "Nobody is more interested in seeing our agricultural sector successful than I am, partly because I come from a farm state." FOX News
Here's the video of the event:
Notice there is no discussion about regulations, good or bad, just the insinuation the farmer is misinformed.

includes the list of proposed legislation by Obama's administration. It's interesting to see everyone's perspective on the topic. I think agriculturists are so used to having a bad rap (for whatever reason) that they don't make a fuss about the regulations- they just do it. In my opinion anyone else would create a much larger stink.
