But farmers like Mr. Stoltzfus are facing growing scrutiny for agricultural practices that the federal government sees as environmentally destructive. Their cows generate heaps of manure that easily washes into streams and flows onward into the Chesapeake Bay.

The anti-Christian attitude is part of it. Another part is the move to control the food supply. By forcing small local food providers out of business they push it to the big multi-national corporations shipping watermelons from Honduras to Chicago.

Both China and Russia have used food to control their undesirables.
