Time Magazine has a fluff piece on people retiring to farm in this weeks 
issue.  It does not say much until they got around to quoting an un named 
USDA official.  They say hobbyists get far less yield per acre than the 
lifetime pros and in times of food shortages they could further crimp the 
supply.  We all know yield per area with intensive techniques is far 
greater than industrialized methods and that this is the UDSA supporting 
those industrial farmers.

I have tried to write to Time but I have to wait for the disgust to recede.
