FYI Jeff: This is the most frequently referenced case when what would normally be a no-brainer identifying INTRA-state activities: Wickard v. Filburn

Apparently after a good deal of choking, kneading and stretching of the commerce clause, and some threats from FDR, the SCOTUS basically decided that a farmer growing wheat that would NEVER leave the farm and intended solely for his family's consumption, was covered by the commerce clause.
