A Conducive Business Climate

Benefits:

By taking these actions:

Agricultural operations can save enormous sums of money in applying for permits; ensuring compliance with all laws, regulations, ordinances and requirements imposed by all levels of government; fulfilling monitoring and reporting requirements; re-applying for permits as they expire over different time intervals; and keeping up to date (and in compliance) with all laws, regulations, ordinances and requirements as they change from month to month and year to year.

The American public will be assured of better compliance with all laws, regulations, ordinances and requirements affecting public health, safety and welfare and the environment.

Agricultural operations will have more opportunities (and greater incentives) to exceed minimum standards and requirements, and thus can do a better job of protecting public health, safety and the environment.

Governmental policies that act as disincentives to agriculture will be identified and rectified and positive incentives, that accommodate agriculture and promote its long-term viability, can be put in their place.

Policies with "unintended consequences" can be identified and corrected.
