I read a report recently that the Secretary of the Navy has initiated plans to acquiese with one of Obama's 900 executive orders; this one being that no less than half of the US Navy's diesel fleet be using bio-fuel by 2015. I read last year that one of Obama's 900 executive orders made it legal for the federal government to confiscate grain crops an crop land should it have needs to do so. What does that mean? Much of our nations farmers and farmland will be producing corn for bio-fuel whether they want to or not and they'll be paid whatever the government should decide; certainly not market price. What then happens? Trickle down debt to be passed on to other farmers and ranchers attempting to raise livestock. Corn and grain prices will skyrocket on the civillian market making it nigh impossible for the small farmers to raise their livestock and the prices at the grocery store will skyrocket simply out of supply and demand as there will be little supply to meet the demand. So, where will we then get the meat, eggs, and dairy our country needs? It'll all have to be imported of course!!! Sad, sad days ahead...

I've said it once and I'll say it again. The government already totally controls every aspect of our lives. They dictate what will and will not be grown. Based on that, they tell us what foods are "good" or "bad" for us. The diet we eat and and what chemicals other junk are allowable, directly effects our health. The government controls health care and pharmaceutical companies. So if you are from an impoverished area that was determined not to need the better education of more affluent areas, then your school probably didn't have the resources or means to even bother educating you....which means you don't have health coverage....which means that all the ailments caused by the diet you were told to eat to stay "healthy" because there was a surplus of some commodity, has now killed you....which means the government has one less mouth to worry about.
It goes WAY beyond this. But if I explained all of it, you'd spend the rest of your life scrolling down.

Well Toby it is estimated that there are approximately 80,000 hunters in every state in the union. Over 8,000,000 gun owners is aproximated. What will happen Toby is we will give the government a more accurate/reliable count.

Faith, what nw is happenning, as wasn't before, is the feds can come in and not only tell you what to plant on your property, but tell you what you will be paid for it and not allow you the choice! Before, if you wanted to plant sugar beats...you planted sugar beats. If you wanted to plant soy beans, yo planted soy beans etcetera. Wen you made a crop, you attempted to sell it to the highest bidder. Not anymore!

If I can find it, I've got a copy of Ohio's Strategic Dairy Plan. This plan has been in place since the mid 70's and is periodically revised to maked things even more unbearable for the dairyman. Wanna know how the feds and state can AND DO control us and our consumers? Basically, everyone a farmer comes in contact with in a usual day (vet, semen jockies, feed company, bank, truckers, cooperative extension, swcd) is in cahoots with the state and feds to put him out of business. They don't want agriculture in Ohio and are helping dairymen dig their own holes to kill any possibility of them being able to survive. It's an eye-opening, no alarming, read. Yet, very few dairymen even know of the existence of this plan. This isn't something that some special interest group or bunch of radicals put together. It comes directly from the Ohio Department of Ag in cooperation with the UDSA and EPA! I shared it with a couple of business professors I've had over the years and they all agreed that their plan goes against anything in the best interest of ethical and good domestic business practice. They went as far a saying that it set American agriculture back to the days of feudalism in Europe during the middle ages. Several other states have quite similar plans. Have been trying to get a copy of a similar plan that covers cash crop farms.

Mass intrusion and regulation by the feds has long been a hindrance to any commercial farm. But now we've moved beyond intrusion and regulation to confiscation and control.
Not producing enough corn on the hundred acres that some government official says you should? Okay, you're off of your fifth generation farm and the government will put someone there to run it the way they want.
Don't want to plant soybeans this year? No problem, your families removed from your two hundred year old homestead and a government appointed ag specialist moved in to meet the fed's needs.
Obama's executive order #900 very much details that of an order signed and instituted by Joseph Stalin in 1930's Russia!
