[QUOTE="BARNSCOOP, post: 674938, member: 7032"] Boy, this post is overwhelming. It's funny this post it up since a friend and I had a conversation very similiar two weeks ago. Does anyone remember when small dairies were being bought out in droves? I was just young so I only remember what I was told about a small local (1/4 mile away from our place) dairy going out of business. It seemed that the government? paid the dairy to quit? bought them out? I remember it being said to control the price of milk. My friend feels the same about the primus i.d.'s, electronic ear tags, microchips, and Ag. enhancement programs. He says the government will require so much that the small farmer won't be able to afford it then be forced to get out, thus leaving the large cattle farmers who they will control with there wallets. I know I'm not talking about breed specific but the whole idea makes great sence to me. What about the crops? Seeds really aren't seeds anymore. We can't grow our own food from produce we purchase in the store. You now have to have Heritage seeds to grow anything. Of course the Americans have chosen to elect someone who is a socialist, who likes government control. [/QUOTE]
