@Godcast Oy vey, you can't possibly believe your back yard is healthier than a professional chicken raising facility. You're not an expert.

@Godcast They're gearing up for further attacks on people raising their own food. Make anyone with chickens seem like a dangerous extremist who wants to kill children with lead eggs, then take away their birds for their own good. Only food from a licensed facility, complete with FDA inspectors, will be allowed.

@parker @WretchedFetch @Godcast If you're in the suburbs, you're going to get an HOA, shitty neighbors, and the city and/or county government coming down on you. Further out, you're probably ok if you're just providing for yourself, but if you start to trade any of it and the ag people get wind, they're going to come down hard on you like they did the Amish who were butchering meat without an FDA hand up their ass.

@WretchedFetch @GLObalMARinePR @Godcast Is there anything they can really do to stop you? I've dug up 120 square feet of mine so far for peas. Albeit, no one really cares out here.

@parker @GLObalMARinePR @Godcast From Google, "Believe it or not, it's illegal to grow wheat at home. In the 1930s, a law was enacted that prohibited US citizens from growing wheat at home unless the crop was properly documented and the associated fees were paid on an annual basis (surprise surprise) to artificially inflate commercial wheat prices."

@GLObalMARinePR @Godcast @WretchedFetch It's an old French-Canadian guy. When my brother asked him about it, he said something to the effect of "the rocks by the river are free".

@GLObalMARinePR @Godcast @WretchedFetch I live in town, but my neighbour built an entire cabin in his backyard out of rocks he picked up by the river. So I don't think it's an issue here at least. The town has expanded the urban hen bylaw as well recently, though you still need a loicense for that.
