What is the deal with the foolish policies of government with regard to food and farmers? Check this. And this. This bill (HR 875) would basically do away with farmers markets and stands as well as giving the government more control over small farms by tracking all animals. Not ONLY THAT… they are also looking to criminalize seed banking! That is ludicrous. Saving seeds by everyone should be encouraged. Especially now in the face of food shortages the art of saving seeds is needed most. I remember my grandpa having excellent seeds saved from past yields from his garden… and this is what Monsanto wants to criminalize and keep farms from doing so that they can control all food production, crops, and animals.
