One would think or hope the Amish farmer would be the last person the US Government would seek to bother! Well, think again! ‘It’s the height of summer, and Amos Miller has much on his mind as he surveys the bounty of the land.
The Upper Leacock Amish farmer and proprietor of Miller’s Organic Farm thinks about the field of hay he must bale before an impending thunderstorm arrives. He studies his herd of 45 dairy cows staying cool underneath a grove of trees.
Miller contemplates ongoing food shortages that have hit grocery stores for months around the country.

Miller said federal officials were last on the farm about two months ago, while the government is “holding hostage” his case that’s currently in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and another case making its way through the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
“They’re just playing their difficult games,” Miller said.’ For full article go to https://www.thelancasterpatriot.com/millers-organic-farm-fighting-for-sustainability/
