Ruling Gives Producers Big Win Over The Environmental Protection Agency

A big win for cattle, feeders, producers, ranchers and the American Farm Bureau over the EPA! Agripulse reports that the Environmental Protection Agency violated the Freedom of Information Act by releasing personal information -- including phone numbers and email addresses -- of the owners of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO). A unanimous decision Monday by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis handed the legal victory to the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Pork Producers Council, which sued the EPA three years ago after it released CAFO information to environmental groups. Farm Bureau general counsel Ellen Steen called it "a clear and very significant win for farmers and ranchers. The decision is a vindication of the right of farm families to protect their personal information, such as their home addresse and GPS coordinates, their phone numbers and email addresses."
