Maybe this guy isn't paying attention. Small farmers are harrassed and hauled into court a lot, for all kinds of stuff.

Excerpt:

Today is the most TERRIBLE day in the history of US farming

No, I am not referring to Obama selecting Vilsack for the USDA though it is a blatant betrayal not only of his promise of sustainable agriculture but of "change" and "grassroots" anything. Vilsack is a Monsanto lackey. http://www.organicconsumers.org/...

and I believe the hand of the Clintons is heavy in this. http://www.localforage.com/...

Scaredhuman's diary :: ::
No, the choice of Vilsack for USDA, though, casts an even darker shadow over the day.

For today the state of Wisconsin at the behest of the USDA drags an Amish farmer named Emmanuel Miller to court for obeying his religious principles.

Perhaps this moment will begin to intimate how the USDA has been operating and why the head of the USDA has become not a political choice but actually life and death for American farmers.

Mr. Miller is due in court today, this Wed. Dec. 17th, at 3:00 pm, at the Clark County Court House, 517 Court St. Neillsville, WI, for his initial court appearance
Family Farm Defenders is encouraging food sovereignty advocates to appear in court in Neillsville to express their solidarity with the Amish farmer being targeted by the State of Wisconsin in its first effort to enforce mandatory premises registration, stage one of the controversial National Animal Identification System (NAIS). ......................
