The lands leased are currently and have been used for agriculture. Why would an EA or EIS be needed for agriculture if legal uses of agriculture practices are the approved use already in the zoning for this conservation land? 

One group says that farming seeds is an approved use, and one group filed a lawsuit that says seed farming needs an EA or EIS, which would create a designation and precedent that all legal types of farming are not going to be treated equally under State law. And that... could create a Federal appeal process related to Federal Law and the 'Right to Farm' laws that assist all farmers in all types of agriculture.

Farming should be encouraged and properly regulated... That statements should not be controversial. 

This lawsuit stinks, in my opinion. And is viewed as proselytizing for a certain type of onerous regulation.
