  Resources and Regulations Summary Available to Delaware Farmers
  (DOVER, DELAWARE) January 16, 2020 – The study of regulations impacting farm businesses by the Delaware Soybean Board (DSB) has revealed that farmers, depending on their operation, can be required to comply with more than 100 separate regulations from three dozen agencies to operate an agricultural business in the First State.
  "Farmers are constantly seeking ways to improve their operation and want to comply with all the regulations, however, it is difficult to stay informed of each and every one when so many agencies are involved," stated Cory Atkins, chairman of the board. "The Soybean Board thought it valuable to farmers to have a compilation of the various regulations that impact a farming operation today along with resources to help guide them through those policies."
  A compilation of federal, state and county regulations which directly or indirectly relate to a farm operation, the report lists regulations by subject and agency and includes contact information for further details. In addition, resources to help operate a farm are included in the summary. Multiple agencies have jurisdiction over various parts of a farm operation, including the departments of Agriculture, Finance, Environmental Protection Agency, Transportation, Motor Vehicles, Labor, Land Use Planning & Zoning, Natural Resources & Environmental Control, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Army Corps of Engineers, and Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
  The review was originally conducted in 2017 and has been peer reviewed and updated annually since. The report is posted on the DSB website [DE Farm Regulations PDF updated 1/16/20].
