somewhere I read this.. "Small farms and food facilities that do less than $500,000 in sales annually and sell most of their food locally would be exempt from most of the new regulations in the bill"
Still I don't agree with this bill. The USDA and the rest of 'em need to improve on what they are already doing instead of screwing people over, We have too many food poisoning outbreaks in this country considering the amount of money we give the government to have these departments "keep us safe" and all these outbreaks, they all come from the BIG companies and distributors. I'll trust a local farmers market with locally grown produce, eggs, meat over something that is "USDA inspected" in a big name store, so long as their clean and know what they are doing, but with money being tight everywhere, farmers markets being a longer drive and higher prices, tough economic times/super tight budges, makes it hard to help support local farmers all the time.
