Old McDonald Had a Farm...and He Got Arrested?

Somebody from something resembling the mainstream media has noticed the plight of the small farmer...

The wide discrepancy in prices farmers receive by selling direct and cutting out corporate distributors and processors, not to mention grocery chains, may help explain why the government is coming down as hard as it is on farmers. Regulators and their legislator bosses are clearly prepared to use intimidation to put a halt to such nonsense before it gets completely out of hand.
