I'm somewhat reminded of the Lord of The Rings -- The Scouring of the Shire -- in which one of the hobbits notes that the Shire has become overrun with "Gatherers and Sharers" although "they seem to do more gathering than sharing".

Government should not be allowed to have a role in agriculture. It's not like they are actually going to help in some way. They just make things more expensive and more scarce.
