Sheriff-Brad-Rogers

Indiana =E2=80=93 Elkhart County Sheriff Brad Rogers, successfully stood up=
 for his
constituents in a showdown, when the Food and Drug Administration sent in
some federal officials to pester a raw milk and organic food farmer.

Sheriff Rogers followed up on a complaint from a local farmer, David
Hochstetler and discovered that he would use his position to side with them
because he saw that there was no justified cause for the obtrusive
inspections that have going on since 2011 around twice a month.
They were searching for a reason to shut down Forest Grove Dairy Farm, so
Rogers stepped in and blocked it. Then he started speaking out about it.

The big agriculture backed FDA along with the Department of Justice (DOJ)
started the harassment approximately four years ago just because the
hard-working farmer was producing raw milk and supplying some of the
organic food co-ops. Thankfully, the government=E2=80=99s steady war on sma=
ll
farmers was halted in this particular case. Sheriff Rogers, authored a
600-word break down of the ordeal for the local newspaper in his
contribution column called =E2=80=9CAsk The Sheriff=E2=80=9D.
=E2=80=9CSpecifically, the FDA was inspecting his farm without a warrant as=
 much as
every two weeks. Typical inspections occur annually. The Department of
Justice (DOJ) had subpoenaed him for a grand jury in Michigan in which he
was to bring his production documents. The Feds wanted to make this farmer
an example.=E2=80=9D
Rogers continued, =E2=80=9CMy research concluded that no one was getting si=
ck from
this distribution of this raw milk.

It appeared to be harassment by the FDA and the DOJ, and making
unconstitutional searches, in my opinion. The farmer told me that he no
longer wished to cooperate with the inspections of his property.=E2=80=9D
Sheriff Rogers wrote to the DOJ and let them know that he would take action
if the federal inspectors came without a signed warrant that specified
probable cause to give a clear reason why they needed to conduct their
invasive searches:

=E2=80=9CI understand that you have made recent requests to (the farmer) fo=
r
documents and to appear before a grand jury, and he has had a number of
inspections and attempted inspections on his farm within Elkhart County.
This is notice that any further attempts to inspect this farm without a
warrant signed by a judge, based on probable cause, will result in federal
inspectors=E2=80=99 removal or arrest for trespassing by my officers or I. =
In
addition, if any further action is taken by the federal government on (the
farmer), while he is in Elkhart County, I will expect that you or federal
authorities contact my office prior to such action. I will expect you to
forward this information to your federal associates, including the FDA.=E2=
=80=9D

Soon after his email was sent, the farmer got a certified letter in the
mail from the DOJ that notified him that the grand jury subpoena was now
cancelled. =E2=80=9CNow, over four years later, the FDA inspectors and the =
DOJ,
have not returned to the property since I interposed for the farmer. Some
have suggested it was my interposition that caused the feds to stand down.
I have no way of knowing this for sure, but the evidence would suggest so,=
=E2=80=9D
wrote the sheriff.
Sheriff Rogers exclaimed =E2=80=9CYour local elected officials can stem the=
 tide of
federal overreach if they apply just a little backbone in supporting and
defending the Constitution. Expect it! Demand it!

Some bloggers and natural food writers have hailed me as a hero. I=E2=80=99=
m no
hero. I=E2=80=99m just doing my job.=E2=80=9D He added, =E2=80=9CMany of ou=
r parents/grandparents
drank raw milk and survived. There are risks with raw milk, but careful
handling and storage will mitigate the risk. Many people believe that raw
milk is healthier to drink than the pasteurized version. There is no law in
Indiana that prohibits the distribution of raw milk in this fashion. In
short, I don=E2=80=99t believe the government should be our nanny and telli=
ng us
what we can or cannot drink/eat.=E2=80=9D
These key actions performed by Sheriff Rogers are right and this is what
the people should expect and receive from their county sheriff=E2=80=99s an=
d other
elected officials.

Rogers came out a few months ago with his firm stance that he would ignore
any and all gun control executive orders. With his solution to the problem
as abolishing gun free zones. He also defended his decision to visit the
Bundy Ranch back during the 2014 stand-off with the Bureau of Land
Management.

Sheriff=E2=80=99s possess the most power in their home counties and are loc=
ally
elected officials that can be a thorn in the side for the federal
automatons that are hell-bent on the encroachment of Freedom. Blocking the
government overreach in this instance can set forth an example for other
sheriff=E2=80=99s to rise up and stand strong for the people they serve. Th=
e
ultimate solution of educating the populous on how to repel the Tyranny can
be accelerated with the continued support of these county bosses.
