“Why are “black-clad federal SWAT teams” raiding farms and ranches all over the United States? “

This is the first reference I’ve seen to this. I know this isn’t your list, but have you seen it before? Know of a source?

I think there were some raids on small raw milk farmers.

"Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied." And here is the denial:

Michigan DNR responds to allegations of 'armed raids on pig farmers'

Note however this line:

Golder said the administrative inspection warrant isn't a criminal warrant, it just allows the officers to inspect the premises in a reasonable manner.

This little line is all that it takes to authorize any form of a raid, from one agent on a bicycle to 1,000 agents in black helicopters. Who is to say that it's not reasonable?
