I can fight the bugs, I can fight the lack of rain, but when the guy comes with a clipboard what are you going to do?, asks farmer whos shutting down his business, thanks to the Obama FDA:
Bessemer called it quits out of frustration with pending federal food safety regulations that likely will require farmers to very specifically track their produce and how it is handled from seed to sale, among other things.
The new rules are part of the Food Safety Modernization Act, sweeping changes within the Food and Drug Administration aimed at making our food system safer by being able to pinpoint where contamination occurs. The federal law was passed in 2011, but how it will be implemented is still a work in progress.
It will be a few years before the regulations are finalized and a few more years before farms are required to follow them, but Bessemer believes there are just too many layers of government red tape and paperwork that would cost him too much.
At 70, Bessemer said he would rather throw in the towel than continue.
We dont want to quit, we were forced out of the business. We cant spend enough money to comply, he said. Weve been farming for 117 years. Im the third generation and were being put out of business by the government. We cant comply with all of the safety laws. We havent poisoned anybody with an ear of corn for 117 years and weve shipped it all over, he said.
I can fight the bugs, I can fight the lack of rain, but when the guy comes with a clipboard what are you going to do? Bessemer said.
Bessemer Farms calls it quits, says new farm rules too cumbersome, from Ohio.com (the Akron Beacon Journal Online), today. As Jon Gabriel of the Exurban League once tweeted in 2009, Just finished Amity Shlaes The Forgotten Man today. Obamas team thinks its an economics textbook rather than a cautionary tale.

37 Awesome Survival/Prepping Hacks

You can’t blame Monsanto for using the law. The real problem is the Federal judges that found that the iS patent lawa were a living doument like the Constitution and allowed Monsanto to gain patents for seed varieties.
Change that ruling and this problem, is some measure goes away.
The real issue is the idiotic judical system
Sure I can. Monsanto bribes the hell out of the filth in D.C. and their lobbyists write the bills for the congress turds to pass.
Aimed at making our food a lot more expensive. Inflation is not proceeding fat enough to suit the government.
BeaureauKaRATZ:
When this is all over, a RATZ with a clipboard will be begging for hiz/herz life. Just like at Nuremberg and Tokyo.
Their EXCUSE will be: “but I wuz JUST FOLLOWING ORDERS.”
RATZ are just so stupid I can’t believe it.
“Two legs bad, four legs good..... Four legs good, two legs better!”
LOL, effin history does chase its own tail, and stupid people just don’t understand.
I call it the sh!t eating dog syndrome: dog eats really bad sh!t on Monday, barfs its lungs out on Wednesday, eats the exact same sh!t on Thursday, never putting one and one together. Doomed to barf forever. Unions and sh!t eating dogs are one and the same.
I live in Western Pa. All these stupid coal workers are OUT OF WORK. War on Coal, doncha know.
These dumb union thug idiots STILL don’t blame the kenyan for their plight.
Sh!t eating dog syndrome.
, but when the guy comes with a clipboard what are you going to do?
Tar and Feathers, is the mild start... Next we get SERIOUS.
You mean when Obama was walking the streets of Chi-Congo?
Great book. Will have to haul it out again since it’s happening in my own time.
“subject to the jurisdiction”......google it
You allow them to control you because you voluntarily wave your constitutional rights.
“The rights of the individuals are restricted only to the extent that they have been voluntarily surrendered by the citizenship to the agencies of government.”
City of Dallas v Mitchell, 245 S.W. 944
I have a lot of these bordering my driveway.
You know, they were introduced in the 70s as cheap cattle feed and the cows won’t eat them. I have never met a human who professed to have enjoyed them, either.
But isn’t it all worth it to know that President Marx has tracked your potato on every step of the way from seed to store?
Personally, I find it refreshing to know that Big Brother has taken such an interest in my broccoli that he’s watched it grow and go to market.
-- when Americans are prevented by their government from feeding, caring for, and providing goods and services for themselves and their communities ... What does that look like?
Great book. Will have to haul it out again since its happening in my own time.

Time to read it and time to preach it.
When the guy comes with the clipboard,
get his identification,
find out where he works out of,
and call Henry Bowman.
(too over the top?)
Chainsaw trumps clipboard.
Just sayin'...
