Of course all that is true but its better to get on with your work and not worry about such things.

What that is about is provision in the Homeland Security Act that mandates that each State
(probably its agriculture department) control and regulate every farmers market in the state.
I hear that this has already happened in Oregon. It may take a while for it to be implemented in each state but it may
well be coming.
As for Monsanto, it is best that alternate seed sources be established, traded with and kept in business. Also seed
saving and seed swapping groups.
