Sorry.... but I've got to agree with him on that point... larger businesses often do support that type of regulation when they see it as a benefit to themselves... in that it can put pressure on some of these smaller outfits to fold. While more regulation doesn't help anyone's bottom line in and of itself... it makes a lot less impact on the larger operation than the small operation... and if that tips the scale to knock a few off, then the increased business the rest receive tends to make up the difference. I've watched this happen in the dairy industry here as well as trucking... they bring in more food safety regulations or just general safety regulations that are more easily coped with by big operations, nobody dare criticize it because it's about 'safety'... and eventually the little guy loses because they can't afford the time or the expense to keep up with the paperwork even though it didn't make anything 'safer'. All of that said... I still don't see the big issue with feed mills. What the OP speaks of is nothing new around here. It's been that way for as long as I can remember. Old mills are getting shut down here by the fire marshall's because of dust. That's the main reason for the dust recovery systems... keeping the place clean. Feed mills are KNOWN to explode and burn due to dust accumulation... so I don't see dust recovery as a bad thing. They just run it back through the pellet mill anyway.
