Now when we need it the most, growing our own food may be against the law and punishable by a fine of up to $1,000,000. Think I’m joking?

Whether or not we can raise a few hens may be the least of our worries. If this bill passes LEAF, Covered Bridge and our farmers market may be things of the past. We’ll have to eat whatever the industrial agricultural industry wants us to.
Tim, I agree. This bill is defintely something to be worried about. Monsanto is evil... they have done some good in this world, but they can be very evil. We need to beware.
