Agrarian Freedom

We now think that the unknown visitor referred to in our previous blog may have been the local fire dept. This is where my current  worries stem from. I didn't mean for this to be any kind of anti governmental blog when I began this. I simply wanted to write about those things that were keeping me up at night worrying. But government agencies are where most of my potential problems seem to arise.

     After another very intense session at the Border Patrol check point on Oct. 22, trying to stand up for my forth amendment right which is suppose  to protect us from unreasonable serches and seisures, I felt it was time to seek legal help, and I contacted the American Civil Liberties Union. They advised me that the first thing I should do is contact my Senators and Congressman to ask for their help. So I wrote to each of them explaining the situation. 

The food safety modernization act, HR2751, which many feared would put an end to small farms, and the sustainable agriculture movement, was signed into law by President Obama on Jan. 4, 2011. The bill passed both the house and senate in a very suspicious way.

My fourth amendment right, which is suppose to protect me from unreasonable government search and seizure. is being conststantly violated. Our home farm is located about 45 miles north of the Mexico/U.S. border. We also farm a small rented grove 50 miles north of our home farm. Between the home farm and our rented acreage is a secondary border patrol check point. Their job is to catch anything they might have missed at the actual border crossing 60 miles to the south. In the past, they would usually just wave me through, or ask a question or two and let me be on my way.

After heavey rains last week the road to our farm was impassible. I put the dates we were shipping on the tractor and headed out to the road to meet the UPS truck. As I sat waiting at a pull off, well off the road , a sheriff went by, then did a U-turn and came back to begin asking me questions.

I want to make it clear we are not the aggressors in this battle. We are simply defending our right to opperate a small farm in a natural way as our forefathers have done for thousands of years.
Our computer has been hacked into and the agrarianfreedom web site was attacked in an attempt to crash our sever. I had hoped to have an open forum and a place to comment about agrarian issues, but have had to turn this feature off to protect against further attacks.

Somewhere around 2002, I had a very unsettling experience. I began getting anonymous phone calls late on Sunday night. Words were ever spoken, but sometimes there was laughter or other sounds.

1) It implies not wishing ill.
2) It includes total refusal to cooperate with or participate in activities of the unjust group, even to eating food that comes from them.
3) It is of no avail without a living faith in the God of love and a love of all man kind.
4) It must prevade everything and not be applied merely to isolated acts.
