I must disagree. Any government that would prohibit free agriculture is already on the road to tyranny. Every dictatorship, no matter its form, allows for the existence of some personal liberties as it limits the rest.

Freedom from "raw" milk, or freedom from your neighbour deciding to start a pig farm or drain your shared aquifer for irrigation?

How about starting with something as simple as being able to grow hemp without being threatened by various police?

The US has been a developing economic police state since at least the 1930's.
