An arm of the EPA shut down my family farms dairy business, the farm was in family hands from 1854 till the present, direct lineage, oldest son inheriting for 8(or 9?) generations. Epa said the waste disposal system was inadaquate and the ground surrounding the property wasn't graded correctly. A complete tear down and rebuild would be required. Millions of dollars. Seems the county was REALLY interested in building a school there in the year preceeding the Epa's visit. We figure the county sent the agency out there to shut the dairy down. They did, the county bought the farm(300 acres +/-) and now ole uncle jim is/was a multimillionaire x 7. He immediately blew about a million bucks on toys(trucks, campers, boats etc), proving how much tax money can be generated and/or spent by the government all by shutting down a $150,000 a year business.
