Local Sheriff Blocks Feds From Raiding Peaceful Farmer

Sheriff Rogers followed up on a complaint from a local farmer, David Hochstetler and discovered that he would use his position to side with them because he saw that there was no justified cause for the obtrusive inspections that have going on since 2011 around twice a month.
They were searching for a reason to shut down Forest Grove Dairy Farm, so Rogers stepped in and blocked it. Then he started speaking out about it.

The big agriculture backed FDA along with the Department of Justice (DOJ) started the harassment approximately four years ago just because the hard-working farmer was producing raw milk and supplying some of the organic food co-ops. Thankfully, the government's steady war on small farmers was halted in this particular case.  Sheriff Rogers, authored a 600-word break down of the ordeal for the local newspaper in his contribution column called "Ask The Sheriff".

"Specifically, the FDA was inspecting his farm without a warrant as much as every two weeks. Typical inspections occur annually. The Department of Justice (DOJ) had subpoenaed him for a grand jury in Michigan in which he was to bring his production documents. The Feds wanted to make this farmer an example."

Thanks for sharing some good news. It's nice to know that large corporations like Monsanto do not rule the entire world.
Small organic farmers are having a hard time, they need as much support as they can get.

This guy dare to produce raw milk without giving his cows grow hormones and steroids? This is criminal for sure!! What is the police doing... Pfff! Once upon a time America had the cleanest food supply for all Americans... Then the like of Hillary, Barack and trump came and all served the interests of the one agrochemical company... But forget about global their power is quite small... The biggest grain producers doesn't use their products, Russia and in China food terrorism and poisoning can result in death penalties... So it's only in oligarchic America that the poors are feeded with toxic food that will slow or hinder their mental development while the ruling class will have access to the clean overpriced real food. The food divide is the last before the water divide... Ohh I forget for some it's frack fluids and toxic waste on the tap... And not only in flint. What is the FBI doing? The FDA? The CIA? Owning shares of those corps in their pensions funds? I guess...
