Christian does a wonderful job of presenting pertinent information on his website. Always look forward to his shows. He sees patterns which do not bode well for the freedom to grow food.. Central control of farming — A government agricultural corportion complex to force out diversity and small farmers.

I just wanted to share something that is happening in our state of Idaho right now with Idaho State Agriculture Surveys and documentation. They are sending emails to every farm registered in the state to determine if you are meeting state and federal production guidelines.

The survey is asking about produce, berry, nut and fruit production processes and packaging routines. We were contacted and we are not a produce farm. We raise meat, beef, poultry and eggs.

Our produce, berry and fruit production is for our own personal consumption. I talked to some other small ranchers and they received the same email. We were all told we needed to respond so we could be placed in the “exempt” category. They were asking for our revenue of production for the past 3 years.

They were also collecting data on how many farms are producing their own personal produce. Any farms that were not considered exempt would be scheduled for a farm and facility visit to determine compliance. They have been conducting this survey for the past 3 years and are now wrapping in all the small scale operations.

Listening to Christian talk about the agendas, it made my stomach flip. It feels very much like a systematic approach to determining where all the production is taking place and gives them strategic information on how they might target farms.

This was on top of the “Required by Law” Agriculture census I was required to respond to earlier this year.
