USDA Now Asking People to Register Their Vegetable Gardens for National Database? Step #1?

The title is a bit misleading, but like everything else I believe this is step #1 leading to a more nefarious database.

In a move that has many folks scratching their heads, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has renewed its push for the People’s Garden Initiative which now includes registering vegetable gardens nationwide. According to the USDA, the move is to foster a “more diverse and resilient local food system to empower communities to address issues like nutrition access and climate change.” But those who have been following the USDA closely for years know that they couldn’t care less about your health and nutrition.

To register your garden with the USDA, one must meet several easily obtainable standards.

School gardens, community gardens, urban farms, and small-scale agriculture projects in rural, suburban and urban areas can be recognized as a “People’s Garden” if they register on the USDA website and meet criteria including benefitting the community, working collaboratively, incorporating conservation practices and educating the public.

And each kulak with more vegetables than the proletariate shall equally distribute his vegetables to the local political officer.

Don’t play. They also send out a farm census that they say is mandatory and by law, it isn’t. It is also not innocuous. They also say it is not used or provided by any other agency. The only way they can know to send one to you is if you file schedule F. I thought all that data was also confidential and not to be shared even intragooberment.

One guy filled out the census for his casual maple syrup operation in Vermont and then started getting leaned on by homeland security for a biosecurity program.

So true. The only thing I use for pest control in my garden is food grade diamatecious earth. Its good for worming your chickens and goats also.

Church Gardens and local farm markets and such. That is bad enough and there is no good reason for doing this. We didn’t need this ever before and we do not need this now.

In another year they will come shut you down and destroy feeb-style you if you are trying to grow your own food and are not using GMO terminator seeds.

A year after that, they will come and outright kill you for trying to grow your own food, regardless of the type seed.

It’s important to make a fuss about it now, so we can all comply later. ;)

It shows what we’re up against in terms of ability to survive when the zombie apocalypse happens.

Guess which side will make it?

It ALWAYS starts out innocuous and before you know it, it’s full out government control of everything, forcing you to tow the party line or else, all for your own good, of course, comrade.

And that, by itself, is reason enough to oppose this. No need to lie and claim they're already doing something they're not doing yet. It makes people wonder what else you might be lying about. That's all.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has renewed its push for the People’s Garden Initiative…

That just sounds Communist.

They aren't even pretending to hide it anymore.

Might be a last ditch effort of some pointless FDA sub-department to avoid losing funding.

Prepper Ping - Register your home garden to the USDA ? - you have to be kidding me !
Independence begins at home with skills and abilities

metmom: "Making sure nobody eats more than their fair share. 😉
Which means they get it and we don’t."

(My comment) :The administration's mantra is : "to Own Nothing,
.. and be Happy"
That is right from the Great Global RESET of the WEF( World Economic Forum)
My response is that I didn't elect dementia patients into leadership positions,
and people who facilitated such national sabotage need to be held accountable for 'elder abuse'.
Normalcy Bias is out the window as the 'tards are in charge of the economy, with rampant inflation and chronic, and repeditive stupidity !
Defend yourself and your family for what is to come !
Don't forget that the original Socialistic colonies totally collapsed until the Native American taught them about agriculture, crops, and meat harvesting.
At least they had turkey for Thanksgiving !

There’s a glut of zucchini in your area. They’ll
subsidize you if you don’t plant any.
