Government Seizes and Dumps Amish Farmers’ Fresh-raised Food
The New American ^ | August 30, 2023 | Paul Dragu

In addition to being the home of newly famous country musician Oliver Anthony, the city of Farmville, Virginia, is also where Amish farmers Samuel and Katie Fisher have operated their food business, Golden Valley Farms, for years. But recently, the Fishers have run afoul of the law for “unlawfully possessing, selling, and/or transporting animals.” As a result, the state seized all of the Fishers’ fresh, locally raised meat and dumped it, so that it couldn’t be sold or used to feed the family.

Other stories on today’s show include: Republicans want to know what’s in the thousands of emails that Joe Biden sent under aliases; the sheriff investigating the racially motivated shooting in Florida tells activist reporters the truth about guns and race in America; and tribal police in Nevada lose their cool and make out-of-state environmental protesters cry.

In the second half of the show, Alex Newman discusses the 1983 shooting down of Korean Air Lines flight 007, which was carrying Georgia Congressman and John Birch Society Chairman Larry McDonald; and Christian Gomez interviews John Birch Society researcher Peter Rykowski about the return of mask and vaccine mandates and what can be done to oppose these controls.

When you post on FR, take the time to post as complete an article as allowed. The only time articles are to be truncated is when copyright forbids.

You're deliberately stirring the pot and are nothing but a troll. I've seen your combative posts. Do us a favor and get off FR. I'm beginning to think you're actually that prick known as humblegunner.

And don't contact me again. You're on my ignore list. Any post from you will only be read by you.

It is o.k. when the American Government does it to someone. Unless the someone happens to be you. The attitude of the general public is the same as it was on Free Republic.com when Ashley Babbit was murdered. She got what she deserved. AS long as their ox is not the one being gored, the average member of the general public could not care less.

“unlawfully possessing, selling, and/or transporting animals.”

The government doesn't have the authority to do this.

The Government may not given them permission. Not everyone who asks the Government for permission to do or not to do something is granted permission. The Government has been after the Amish for years.

“Those Amish are always causing problems like this by being self-sufficient.”

The Midwest has Amish and Mennonite farmers throughout, and they are a national treasure.

Leave them be!

That's exactly the problem. Our government can't let anyone be since it is invasive of personal privacy and run by a bunch of elitists feeding at the public trough.

Welcome to the gaslight media. News you can’t use, and that you learn nothing from.

I claim no expertise on Amish agriculture, but from what I have seen, they seem to use the most “sustainable” farming methods in the country.

Anyone who touts Glenn Youngkin as a conservative should recognize that he is just another RINO, big government type.

Agreed. And besides. “Youngkin”(Yung-Kin) sounds Chinese.
