Wonder why family farms are decreasing, and the factory type farms are on the rise?

UNREAL!!

I bet they learned a valuable phrase out of this ordeal: "No. Not without a warrant."

perfect example of how our current administration spends their time, effort and resources.

Lets not fix "real" problems.!

Instead lets punish/pick on honest tax-paying americans!

(ok, stepping down off soapbox)

Another example of government run amok

Reading these articles just infuriates me! The punishment definitely does not fit the "crime." I have no doubt that there could have been a much more reasonable solution to this problem.
