    Sad and infuriating, all at once.

    This is sad/infuriating, but the moving forward thought is: How can we set up our own meat packing industry from the roots up?

    We have lots of people on this platform who do their own husbandry and butchering.

    How can we organize a guild or similar to be able to stand up to the USDA and so forth and get the products to the customers?

    If there’s people willing to stick out their necks to start this, there’s no better time than now to get this going. Lawyers will be a must to include in this. I am just a software engineer, but I can help from the tech perspective.

      I think the first thing we have to do is start from areas where we are free. Some states prohibit the production and sale of food more than others. The sad truth is we do not have the resources $$$$$$ and time to fight the government where they have strong holds against growing and selling our food. However there are locations they cannot touch. Locations that have a sheriff that will kick out the feds when they attempt to destroy your food production is a very good start. However, we may be forced to establish black markets of food just like they do in Russia.

        I agree. That’s why I said to involve local lawyers in order to determine where the business can get kicked off as well as being able to withstand implications that you’re breaking laws when you really aren’t.

        Local lawyer will drain you of funds, The sheriff is paid by your tax dollars to protect you. I do believe legal action is needed, but I think that would take a collective action of the small farmers against Big Ag. Big Ag, will destroy all competition with it’s fleet of lawyers.

        Going through the courts is akin to a full frontal assault, (and a tactical effort), the strategic way is via the ballot box. Vote, educate and if no good candidates, run.

        Agreed, but we have lost the ballot box with dominion voting machines, 2000, mules, and the dead voting. I still vote, but I have more faith in my prayers for change than my vote.

      This has been a long battle. This book shows how Joel Salitan fought and keep his farm, and is doing very well now. That said, the Amish are loosing… at the moment.
