A backyard farmer in Clarkston, Georgia is being sued for growing too many vegetables

[Ken45101]

Using his manure spreader on the 4th of July was the last straw.

He had politicians making speeches (spreading manure) ?

If zoning prohibits "commercial business activities", I can see where a commercial grower (e.g. "truck garden") would be in violation in a developed neighborhood.

There's always more to every story.

But isn't it fun to get your panties in a wad before you know the whole story? That way you can blame it all on those other guys and feel all superior and stuff.

The local government needs money= enforce laws that have been ignored for years. The government also does not want you to be self sufficient, they want you to live on the government dole. That way they can maintain control.

YA no sense in getting your panties in a bunch over this huh?

Senate Bill S510 Makes it illegal to Grow, Share, Trade or Sell Homegrown Food

的f accepted [S 510] would preclude the public痴 right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes. It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one痴 choice."

You better read the whole law before getting up in arms.

There seems to be an overabundance of fear mongering out there. This bill has not been addressed since Dec 2009 and seems to be dead. There has been no vote on it. There was (and is) a clear reason to try to address food safety.

Here is a bit of a summary of senate bill S. 510. Lots more info on the site.

Publisher's Platform: S. 510 in a Nutshell

"Linda Rivera (Senator Harry Reid's Nevada constituent) ate premade cookie dough that was contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. She has suffered liver and kidney failure, a stroke and the removal of her large intestine. She has been hospitalized since May 2009 and has incurred over $4.5 million in medical expenses. S. 510 should be renamed for her.

S. 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, has been deemed dead more than once. I do not have a crystal ball to know if it will ever surface again, or why it even died in the first place, but here is a bit of what we are giving up by not passing it. I have read S. 510 more than a few times, but Senate staffers did a great job of summarizing it and I have used that, in part, as an outline.

Only foods already regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be subject to S. 510. Section 403 maintains the existing firewall between FDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture regulated foods and agricultural products. The beef industry has nothing to worry about here."

A little research is sometimes helpful.
