A friend let me know he has seen on T V the government was going to tax ranchers @175.00 a year for each cow that took a shit.they were flying drones over some areas,getting a count on the cattle.Has anyone heard about this? Fact or urban legend. Originally Posted by ekim008Such a tax was a proponent of the proposed part of Cap-and-Trade Bill. Taxing cattle (beef and dairy -- methane polluters) was but one of the factors that made it such an onerous bill. It meant U.S. citizens would almost unilaterally be footing the increased costs in the food market while connected traders in NYC and DC would make a fortune off trading air. As far as using drones to count cattle, it could be done. However, the Cap-and-Trade Bill was shot down (at present) by the Senate in 2009. The House passed the bill, but that was before the 2010 election shift.
I do know that the EPA has been talking about regulating farm dust ????
I have heard of drones flying over farms. Could be training.
Plently of stories about drones and cattle thieves.

Maybe they'll wave the tax if his cows are constipated. Originally Posted by joe bloe
