Aside from more than a hundred food processing/manufacturing plants/chicken farms being destroyed over the past few years, and the millions of chickens and egg laying hens being destroyed due to avian flu, another more insidious war has been happening against small farmers.

We have reported reported on the government attacks against an Amish farmer, who was fined $300,000 for their traditional selling of raw milk and meat, after the feds raided his farm. A court sided with the farmer, Amos Miller, in 2022, which lowered the fines to $55,000 and allowed Mr. Miller to resume operations. That same farmer was raided again this year, and the battle against him by Biden’s Agriculture Department continues to rage on . TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/

Now we see recent reports about states run by liberal leaders doing everything in their power to prevent small farmers and homesteaders from being able to grow and sell their produce.

We’ll start with Oregon. Under the guise  of water conservation and groundwater protection, farmers are being choked out of business.

Imagine being told you cannot use your well water to grow your crops to sell to your community. Well, that is exactly what is happening to Christina del Campo, who grows food on a half acre of her own land, and is now being told she does have “water rights” to irrigate her fields.

For seven years, del Campo has used well water to grow vegetables here, which she’s sold at farmers markets and to her neighbors. She said that’s been her primary source of income.

“It’s like a convenience store,” said del Campo. “People can stop in. I see a lot of people come on Sunday mornings to grab fixings for breakfast.”

However, everything changed last September. That’s when Oak Song Farm received a letter from the regional office of the Oregon Water Resources Department. It was a notification that the farm couldn’t irrigate its commercial crops without a water right.

Del Campo said this came as a complete surprise. Today, she said her business has been essentially destroyed.

“I don’t know why growing food is illegal,” she said. “That’s what doesn’t make sense to me.

Here is the kicker: “There are some exemptions, as those without a water right can use up to 5,000 gallons a day for commercial or industrial purposes. However, this doesn’t include irrigation.”

Ms. del Campo used less that one fifth the amount others are allowed an exemption to use, yet because it is for irrigation, for farming, she is forbidden from running her business, on her own land, using well water.

What is happening to not just Ms. del campo, but to others, is explained in the video below, including stories of others that are being shut down, and suing the state because of another arbitrary rule. One woman simply had three milking cows, and they shut her down.

In 2023, we saw the Biden regime offering to pay Colorado farmers to let their fields run dry as part of a new water conservation program funded by the U.S. government aka American taxpayers.

“They’re talking system conservation, and I’m afraid that’s the first step to what I would call ‘buy and dry,'” he said, referring to a fear that the federal government would buy up the land for pennies on the dollar and dry it out for good. “And there goes, you know, generations and generations of family farms like ours.”

Remember, in 2021 it was reported that the Biden regime was paying farmers more to not use their land for farming, than they would have made farming and selling their products, with the goal of adding 4 million acres of farmland to the Conservation Reserve Program, all in the name of “climate change.”
