Yes, seedcorn, that is the context of the ruling.

HOWEVER this ruling sets precedent that can then be used to justify just about any restrictions on a citizen's ability to raise their own food.

It would be nice to believe that the government would never try to restrict our rights to grow our own food, but I think it is important to know what legal precedent is out there. If our government can justify torture, I think it could justify just about anything. Just my opinion, of course.

This ruling allows government to control whatever product they guarantee a higher price than the current market. In this case, the farmer wanted the "government" price but he wanted to sell (use) more than allowed. Want to use all you grow, don't get involved with the government. this goes on in many industries.

As far as your last point, I never agree w/torture or a lot of things our government does, but that's another issue and thread....

Didn't say you condoned torture, nor did I mean to imply it, seedcorn. My point was just that once something is on the books, there is the potential for missuse. That's all.

I'd like to not get involved with the government, but there isn't much I can do if the government decides it wants to get involved with me, is there?

OK enough of this for me. Happy weekend to you all!

"Supreme court says they can control personal crops"

Better title:

government pays for crop, gets to say how much and to whom.

My hair grows out of my head thereby hindering my need to get a weave from a salon. I breastfeed my children which keeps me from purchasing formula. And sometimes I make home movies, that means I might not need to go to the theater. And what if I make cookies, will nabisco suffer? Anyone else got some?

Quoted for truth... Lol, watch them make laws involving these next -.- Careful, there might soon be regulations on your daily intake of oxygen. I would like to see the fools try to regulate how many potatos, artichokes, onions, garlic, peppers, tomatos, etc I grow for personal use. Good luck to them finding them, I doubt they even know what the plants look like when not just the final cut and polished product from the super market
