RE: Green Growth in the High Tunnel @mountainjewel | Seed Saving & So Many Plants! (Photo Log)
I looked into getting a high tunnel for our homestead after reading one of your posts. (Thanks!) but decided not to for now, because I believe the "Patriot Act" gives those who consider themselves masters (USDA) ownership of all "farms" in the event of an "emergency" for the purpose of making sure the state can distribute your produce however it sees fit when an excuse is presented. So, instead of asking them for a high tunnel, I think I'll have our property removed from the farm list.
i hear where you're coming from, but i'm not so sure that they can do this. i have heard of them doing so for animal operations in michigan (only real life example i've heard of), but i specifically asked our extension agent and she said there was no way the government had any control over what we do in our outside of the high tunnel due to taking part in this grant. i respect your opinion/decision, though we aren't worried about this/it's not stopping us.
