There is a draconian bill being introduced. It is HR 875/S 425. It is imperative that you familiarize yourself with this bill. Who stands to gain from a bill that is trying to regulate all facets of agriculture? And yes, it will affect all facets...you have to read the fine print. Who is promoting and supporting such a bill?
