regulations
 
Who will feed us when small American farm families are forced out of business by the massive weight of bureaucratic regulation?  And exactly how safe are factory farms?  Regulation does not equal safety.  Small farmers take great pride in their products and should not be required to meet standards that would not have any effect on the quality of their product.  These regulations would only serve as another tax burden on the family farmer.
