No, thats big brother going too far in my opinion. Farmers can not sell produce unless some pipsqueak from the health department comes and inspects my garden and water supply? They don't test for anything! They just look it over! Said that animals need to be 200 feet away so that the dirt is not contaminated with "animal waste products" Excuse me!! We fertilize with manure from our cows, horses and rabbits!!! Hello! Thats a animial waste product! I asked him about fertilizer and he said that was ok to use?? I then ask him what they would be looking for, and he couldn't really tell me--just said they have to look. And, he is the guy who does the looking. I then asked him what his degree was in. He has none--he is the county health inspector, 20 years old, no degree. I think it is just a way for the county to collect a $20 fee.
