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

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) :-[

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.  :(
