What 'gummit', Robert??  Surely you don't mean those nice people who
come out to the tobacco farms to:

1.  survey every plot or field on which you plan to plant, and do this
each and every year,

or

2.  after harvest, demand you not plow under the stalks til they come
out to count them to make sure your warehouse poundage matches your
harvested acreage--to make sure you didn't dump any on the black
market--as if after all the red tape, and regulations you'd be able to
sneak this by them.

Surely not them!!  Don't they know what's best for my farm, Robert??
Like--NOT!!!!!!

Every pie, every governmental finger.   What's next--my vegetables??
