Small/organic farms as the US knows them may die

Small Farmers and and Nutritional healers are being harassed and even raided by by institutions like the FDA the FTC and the USDA. Free speech about nutritional solutions to problems like depression are severely limited by the FDA and FTC. They seems to believe that nothing natural can solve anything. What will really kill the farms though is the recently added health regulation bills entered into the house and senate. These bills demand traceability, which signifies the enactment of NAIS (National Animal Identification System). Penalties for any violations according to these bills can also be up to 100,000 to 500,000 dollars. which would break any rural farm. These bills were unnannounced, and were introduced at the same time so there would be no debate. The good news is that these bills seem to have slowed down thanks to thanks to lack of support after their exposure. This is a time to talk to your senators and representatives and stop these bills!

Some small farms and organic food growers could be placed under direct supervision of the federal government under new legislation making its way through Congress.

Food Safety Modernization Act (link at website)

House Resolution 875, or the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, was introduced by Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., in February. DeLauro's husband, Stanley Greenburg, conducts research for Monsanto – the world's leading producer of herbicides and genetically engineered seed.

DeLauro's act has 39 co-sponsors and was referred to the House Agriculture Committee on Feb. 4. It calls for the creation of a Food Safety Administration to allow the government to regulate food production at all levels – and even mandates property seizure, fines of up to $1 million per offense and criminal prosecution for producers, manufacturers and distributors who fail to comply with regulations.
