Too much federal government is always the problem. No reason states shouldn’t help themselves (their citizens) out by making it as easy as possible to have local farm to table. I’d love to see some of the “Free” states start to pass laws that assist the local growers and producers. Lots of Farm stands in my neck of the woods. Shockingly enough every local grocery store imports 100% of its fruits and vegetables during the local growing season. Go to the store in august and the tomatoes are from California. We grow the best tomatoes in the country and the local producers can’t even get a spot in the store. It’s silly. I feel bad for you ranchers. I’m lucky enough to have a butcher that purchases local beef so in a small way, I’m helping out the local economy and the meat is way better than anything I can get in a local grocery store.
