The recent Environmental Protection Agency’s plan to initiate a so-called greenhouse gas tax on privately owned dairy farms and livestock has farmers up in arms.

According to a segment on the Glenn Beck Show on Fox News Channel, the EPA will institute new rules and regulations to control greenhouse emissions by farm animals. During this tough economic time, it is unfair and irresponsible to levy such a tax on family farms, according to conservatives.
