Abstract: Government regulations have a significant impact on Florida dairy farmers. According to a sample of farmers, waste disposal activities on dairy operations are most negatively impacted by government regulations. Most of those farmers viewed milk and feed inspections as beneficial to their businesses. The average dairy farmer spent 22 percent of the work day complying with governmental regulations. Increased flexibility and more common sense in rule implementation were the main suggestions made by farmers to improve the current regulatory system.
