Sorry, man--I want everyone to wash their hands. And if they don't, and
e-coli traces back DNA-wise to them, then they are no better than Dick "Dark
Lord" Cheney...

Subject: [Community_garden] HR 875 - Read It And Focus On What IS There
Like Mike, I've given the bill a quick read. Mind you, any other kind of
read requires some kind of headache pill that is stronger than what I
have.
I see NO threat to our seeds in the bill. I see no MENTION of seeds in
the bill. So, I think that's a read herring - possibly well-read.
However, I am somewhat concerned that farmers selling at farmers' markets
will have to meet some record keeping and other standards that I think are
onerous. I worry for the future of the family farm if some of these
reporting and restrictions are implemented. I would like to see someone
with more education in law read it through and say what it means for our
set of constituents - it seems to me that small producers might end up in
a pickle one more time as the laws are written to require more paperwork
and reporting than an average person can do in a year. (Reminds me to
file my taxes... >>sigh<< - not that I make so much, I work for a
non-profit. I just have to PROVE I don't make so much. Very unkind.)
