Will the USDA demand that MasterCard/Visa set up a separate, distinguishable purchase category for seed/fertilizer when folks buy for Spring planting?

[CatOwner]

I guess they are to be called capitulate gardens rather than victory gardens.

[Leep]

I guess a zucchini could be an assault weapon.
In which case it should be register with the Federal Government.. affectionately called Big Brother.

Not the Bee?

“the People’s Garden Initiative”.

Nothing wrong with that, is there? /s

[Qiviut]

“Register” my garden??? Oh heck no way ... EVER. I guess we’re going to have to start putting camo netting over our gardens now ....

Measuring what it will take to get food lines going, as well as, scaring American citizens.

I saw this type of thing during WW2, where people would just go and raid the garden whenever they felt like it.

Almost 100 years ago the Soviets confiscated ALL the food in Ukraine. Millions died.

So the feds can take it, or destroy it on any pretext (plants considered invasive, seeds containing patented DNA, threatening some snail never heard about before, fertilizer in runoff water, using water without permits, or whatever other rule they can invent).
IRS raid if you ever sell or trade any of your produce. Or maybe they want to tax everything you grow as income.
Whatever the excuse, a garden registry will not benefit ordinary people in any way.

As the writer said, "a little misleading ..."

Gardens on public land, not private. It takes a village type enterprises for virtue signaling. They will be a joke, but some feel-gooders will get to feel good.

Is the USSDA going to hire a bunch more employees that must be ready to ‘carry’?

[Alas Babylon!]

My garden can never be a people’s garden.

It is an Animals Garden.

Groundhogs, deer, raccoons and voles are the main consumers of my produce.

Another thought...

Churches have ministries to feed the community via gardening, etc. Is this an attempt for the government to regulate them?

[dkGba]

Agreed. When will this insanity end? In 60+ years I have never known such despair

[fretzer]

Sounds communist.

No thanks.

[farmguy]

Are the 87000 irs agents being hired to tax you on the Imputed income from your garden?

[telescope115]

It doesn’t sound communist-it IS communist!
Is there no end to the control they want over us?
I want to know, specifically, whose idea this is!
I don’t have a garden, but they can go to hell…
