I recently finished reading Joel Salatin’s latest book, Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal: War Stories From the Local Food Front . This book illustrates how government regulation favors Big Agriculture and limits what is possible for small-scale farming. Most of what is big today, started as a small-scale farming idea. Regulatory barriers to innovation, food safety, enjoyment, and efficiency keep individuals and our nation from prosperity. Subjective application of these rules result in punishment to those who have found a better way or just want to farm. If you want to be “Free to Farm,” this book is a must read!
