The USDA wants to inspect your kitchen garden... .

[theotherwaldo]

The USDA is sending out letters to people with small gardens, groups that are raising vegetables for small private schools and folks that are raising a few chickens for their own food.
The USDA wants these people to volunteer to be inspected - and they aren't interested in taking "no" for an answer.
Some folks are getting request after request.
I suspect that this government agency is trying to get ahead of the 'new economy' of barter and the cashless society.
Interesting times... .

Even the Amish have been raided and not just by the USDA, but by US Marshalls:

It seems this Federal government is determined to go to war with its own civilian population and isn't this the "enemy...domestic" against which our office-holders pledge to defend us?

Yep, our government seems to be determined to force us to be hungry in the dark, homeless and dependent upon their mercy... .

another domestic terrorist group, time to remind them that they are supposed to work for US, if they do not, time to disband them.
We really need someone with big balls in the White House and eliminate at least 50% of all ""agencies"".
Ask yourself. what did they EVER do for you or your family?

Besides nothing.

Just another prong in controlling the food supply. Given to them by Franklin Damned Roosevelt with the agricultural adjustment act and guaranteed by the Supreme Court under Wickard v. Filburn. Just careful planning showing results.

... or big "ovaries" ... if that's a socially acceptable metaphor, and if it's not, I don't care. There are several really impressive up-and-comers in conservative politics who happen to be women. People like Tudor Dixon, Kari Lake, Harriet Hageman, Sarah Sanders, and others I can't recall right off the top. Even Tulsi Gabbard, who's technically a registered Democrat, but who's a really sharp critical thinker and whose expressed views, principles, character and thought processes seem to me to be more conservative than the typical RINO.
