"EPA Farm Dust Rule A 'Myth,' Agency Says

WASHINGTON -- The EPA is trying to put to rest what it calls a 'myth' that it is going to crack down on farm dust.

In letters to two senators last week, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said the agency won't expand its current air quality standards to include dust created by agriculture. The agency released the letters Monday.

Republicans and some farm-state Democrats have used the issue on the campaign trail, arguing that the EPA is set to penalize farmers for everyday activities. Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain said in a recent debate that the agency is 'out of control' and was preparing to regulate dust."
