Is it True that Obama and His Administration are Trying to Criminalize Backyard Gardening and Organic Farming?
May 9, 2010
HR875 and S425 will make it illegal for people to grow their own food or have organic farms because it forces Americans and American Farmers to use genetically modified seeds and use Corporate backed pesticides.
Does Obama support this or is he against it ?
.
If you read the actual bills you will find these are bills to enforce regulations upon large farms and processing plants and will not hinder back yard gardening nor small farmers selling unprocessed foods direct to their customers. It has nothing to do with abolishing the USDA organic program nor fining housewives for not using approved foods nor forcing America’s farmers to use GMO’s (the conventional guys are pretty close to 100% using these already so stay away from corn soy, canola, rice, beet sugar, papayas and cottonseed. There are no other GMO foods in commercial production…yet)
This has nothing to do with the Obama Administration and everything to do with the congress-i.e. The executive branch did not write this bill though Obama may sign the bill into law if it passes through the house and the Senate

Got something to say?
Actually, the reason the organic farmers are most worried about the proposed legislation is sanitary requirements. It is entirely possible that regulations will prohibit the use of manure as a fertilizer for fresh vegetables/greens. This would apply to anyone offering these items for commercial sale. None of this would apply to me directly, since I rely entirely on Organic Free Food, at http://organicfreefood.blog.com/ Even so, I can see that people would be worried.
Just tilled up my back yard for a huge garden. Im not worried about it, I will use my land as I like.

No. Why don’t you read the bills if you are interested. Trolling is STUPID.

In its current form HR 875 does not distinguish between slaughter houses and backyard gardens.
Thank you for bringing to my attention.
