Ron Paul, America's best hope for peace, prosperity and freedom, spoke at Farm Food Voices back in February, an event for the small farm lobby. Here is a video of that event:

The organizers note:
Organized by the National Independent Consumers and Farmers Advocates Fund (http://www.nicfa.net ) we came to Washington so that small, independent, sustainable farmers and the communities they support would become real to Washington legislators. When legislators think "agriculture," they think multinational corporations, commodities, massive subsidies to massive companies who raise genetically modified grains and green pigs, who depend on poisons like insecticides, herbicides, pesticides, anhydrous ammonia (one of the key ingredients for methamphetamine) and raise animals in confinement conditions that leave them with compromised immune systems, and fragile health, then use massive doses of antibiotics. We are the small farmers who nurture and heal the land through careful, faithful stewardship of soil, plant and creature. We raise our crops and animals to have the robust immune systems nature provided. We are local, and we want to stay local.
More at the Daily Paul - Excellent Speech by Ron Paul where the organizers talk more about their goals, their opposition to National Animal Identification System (NAIS), a program that would put an RFID chip in every farm animal, including pets as they track them all.
