These bill would turn our farmers into Monsanto controlled laborers on their own property, while mandating they purchase their products through federal law.
The industrial side is making us sick and responsible for contamination that spreads through out the food system - pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, steroids, heavy metals. But through Clinton's idea and the bills introduced by her friends, Monsanto and the rest of Big Ag (Cargill, ADM and the rest) are about to get away with the most astounding coup of American farming - using government to actually impose their sickness making industrial system on small farmers who are the ones producing the only health food we have.
This is why Vilsack, Monsanto's crony, was put in. 2009 is the date for locking things up.
They would not only be taking over the food supply but eliminating everything diverse and healthy through massive regulating of every single thing happening on farms - while they, the industrial side, is not even inspected and plays game with all labeling for themselves. They are running the show and Monsanto is dragging down the whole economy and blocking any chance of a local, vibrant organic farming movement to exist.
As the New York Time article intimated, this is the change Obama talked about - and they are green jobs - being eliminated behind the scenes by Clinton, Vilsack and Monsanto.
A whole class of once free people are being taken over and made servants to the industrial system and even trapped sources of funds for it, controlling everything they do.
Here's what they do in all its hard work, love, wonder and ... freedom:
"Here a 8 year old proudly helps to dry his new doeling that he chose to name MilkNHoney Allison. By being involved through the entire process from conception to weaning, this child might choose to stay in either livestock or farming. He gains valuable knowledge throughout the 5 month process to help him be a Goat breeder someday."
The New York Times has never written a single article on the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). The only story on NAIS they have written is a review of French movie by that name. And CSAs they just reported on would be fine and help lead this country out of a massive depression if all the bills out of New York and Ohio were trashed outright.
No, President Clinton, there is no "we." Farmers know the government caused a human disaster (your "free trade" and opening India to Monsanto and the rest has been followed by 180,000 suicides by Indian farmers over the last ten years - but, oh, the profits to Monsanto). What farmers want is for government to stay out of small farming altogether.
Your words sound so contrite - admitting to a colossal blunder and talking about a more environmentally responsible, sustainable form of agriculture." But Monsanto is now using those same words "environmentally responsible," and "sustainable" and in a New Yorker ad, no less, and your "we" is just on to the next massive trick.
Just leave small farmers alone. They know how to farm. And customers are incredibly grateful for their good food.
Those regulations are fine. They are just insanely misapplied to the safest, least centralized, least dangerous part of farming - small local farmers. But they are, though, absolutely perfect for Monsanto and industrial agriculture, multinational corporations which NEED to be massively re-regulated and tracked every minute of every day, and particularly including who their lobbyists visit in government.
But for our small farmers who we are losing the rate of 1000 a month, get the government the hell off their farms. Get them the hell out from under all USDA regulations that in any way at all allow their own corporately corrupted government - now backed up by Homeland Security "surge capacity" strike forces - to threaten, control, register, track, seize, trespass, slaughter, or destroy anything that is theirs.
