Got the hog reference, Henry...
So, the girl was homeschooled... the plot gets CLEARER now.
White, Christian, Conservative, self-reliant, homeschooling to avoid leftist indoctrination...
They would indeed be a HUGE ENEMY of the left.
Milk from commercial dairies never touches the air-- it goes from the cows udder to cooling tanks.
My Dad was a veterinarian and the milk cows were a sideline to keep us boys busy. We never solicited sales, but we had plenty which sought us out. This was two decades before raw milk became trendy.
Our favorite customer was a guy who worked in the local commercial creamery. They bought raw milk by the truckload, but wouldn't allow the employess to even buy any before pasteurization.
This guy would also bring us ice cream. Anytime they were changing flavors in the mixing tanks, they had to remove the first 10 gallons or so from the new batch because it was mixed with the old. We never knew what we would get, but it was all good. He always insisted on paying us for the milk even though we tried to trade it to him for the ice cream he brought.
His explanation was that we spent the money for feed and sweat for labor to produce the milk, but all he did was remove ice cream which would have been discarded anyway.
Raiding farmers who sell raw milk and confiscating kid’s computers. WOW! I certainly feel SAFER!!!
How about raiding some of the drug gangs which have caused US territory to be OFF LIMITS to American citizens!!! Oh, that’s right. That would actually be DANGEROUS!!!
“Way too many Federal employees where they are not needed.....”
You win, BINGO!, Right-on, etc., however you could have stopped at “Way too many Federal employees”.
The Fed was not intended to be the Fed it is.
During WW II we kept a couple of cows, drank the raw milk, ate the butter and ice cream. No problem, but one tubercular cow in a herd of a hundred used to infect thousands before pasteurization. It used to be called the “white plague.” After the pasteurization laws, TB is not that common any more.
I don’t even know what a kulak is.
But I will say this. The last Depression laid the foundation for this, now here, depression. This one has the potential to kill this country. And Obaba is in place to ‘communize’ the rest of this population.
This is disgusting.
This story is extremely frightening to me.
A'yup.
In the Rawesome raid, agents made off with several thousand dollars worth of raw honey and raw dairy products.
And in a national first among such raids, agents searched a private home and made off with computers; the family's offense appears to have been that it allowed one of the raw dairy farmers to park in its driveway to distribute raw milk to area residents who had ordered it.
Raw honey? Parking? More computers confiscated?
I think I'm beginning to understand why shows like Dexter are so popular. The new century is going to require new skills.
“TB is not that common any more.”
.
Because they call it AIDS now.
Actually, TB is quite common in parts of the country where illegal immigration travels on foot, and their garbage tends to be very infectuous.

They sure do make it hard to get raw milk nowadays. I know in our state you can’t legally get raw milk unless it’s from your own cow. So this lady we know who has lots of cows sells “cow shares”, and each share you buy will give you a gallon of milk a week. That way we can get the raw milk because we technically own part of the cow.
It may be better tasting than pasteurized milk but it is in no way better for you. It doesn't matter how healthy the cows are or how clean they are. There can be many pathogens (brucella, salmonella) present in the milk that only pasteurization can eliminate and there is no way you can fully sterilize an udder. I grew up surrounded by farm families who produced their own milk and consumed it raw. My father would never let us drink it like the kids we grew up with because he understood the danger...albeit rare. One of the kids I knew came down with Malta Fever. He was just 10 years old and it almost killed him. Raw milk was the cause. He was never the same. It was a good lesson.
Raw milk doesn't need to be dealt with by storming the homes of providers however, anyone who thinks raw milk is healthier than pasteurized milk hasn't done their homework.
Mr Bowman needs to identify who sent these thugs and pay him a visit.

This is just one front of the war on farmers that live on their land. The goal is to depopulate the rural areas of independent self-reliant people that Jefferson said were necessary and sufficient to maintain a free society.
Monsanto and the Sierra Club happily call it “rural cleansing”. Waxman and Dingell see it as gaining the terrain for ruling the people.
“Obviously it doesn’t affect everyone in the same manner.”
.
That’s mostly because lots of people don’t have access to it.

The real fear the government has is the growing of a black market. It's what brought down the Soviet Union. Commerce that provided buyers what they wanted and avoided taxes. The black market will in the end bring down imperial America.
And for sure cooked vegetables are safer than raw. Be sure to only eat canned tomatoes and canned spinach. It ought to be illegal to sell raw spinach.
