Outrage of the Week: Law Abiding Goat Farmer Being Harrassed Out of the Market
As if our struggling economy wasn’t enough to contend with, now we have bureaucrats deliberately trying to run farmers out of business by creating higher, more expensive hurdles for them to jump. The most recent example of this is in South Dakota.
This is when you know the government is too big. They start making work projects for themselves that interfer with the peaceable and enterprising. Instead of fostering the growth of a young, successful dairy goat business, these unelected officials have decided to kill it instead. For shame.
Read this of travesty of fair trade in this letter to the editor:

After this letter ran, and it circulated through social media and blogs, the proposed laws were withdrawn. We need to be vigilant, though. We can’t be sure it won’t be introduced in another form.

I would have never imagined that I would be blogging, or that I would join a group like Real Food Media. None of this would have happened without you. I mean more than the help you have given me, though I appreciate it very much. I also mean seeing the great good you do with your blog, with supporting WAPF, with advocating real food and the great info you provide on so many issues. There is such a desperate need for this information. You are an inspiration to me. Thank you for being who you are, and for doing what you do.
