The government is back to attacking farmers for farming:
A second trial to be held in case of livestock registry law
BALSAM LAKE, WI - A second trial will be held today for the first person convicted of violating a law that requires farmers to register their livestock premises with the state. … Donna Gilson of the state agriculture department said a new trial was granted because the federal government had rejected a national law that’s similar to Wisconsin’s. … Monchilovich will be tried again in Polk County. And Gilson says other prosecutors will be watching, to decide whether to press ahead with similar cases in Grant, Vernon, and Price counties.

This is one of the many reasons why the USDA’s proposed National Animal Identification System (NAIS) is a baaahd idea according to my sheeple. They keep ramming it down our throats despite our bleats of protest. Apparently they missed the part about “a government of the people, by the people, for the people.”
The Gettysburg Address
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
-Abraham Lincoln
We do not need permission from the government to farm, to associate, to speak. The USDA, FDA and WI Dept of Ag and other agencies are violating the fundamental Constitutional rights of the people of our nation with their gradual implementation of restrictive laws and regulations that monitor and control our lives.
