that stoped a wheat farmer from growing wheat for himself and his animals
wow you almost had me convinced that my garden was under attack by the federal government
Wickard v. Filburn was a direct result of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938. As you should know, that law was enacted to subsidize farmers for various agricultural products among them wheat. After a lower court concurred with Filburn the SC overturned that opinion, stating the federal government could regulate his wheat production from AAA of 1938 based on interstate commerce clause. This law has been superseded by the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002, which is directed by Congress to subsidize farmers.
Since i am not a farmer, i do not qualify under the law to be regulated by the federal government and thus i can without fear grow whatever i want in my vegetable garden.
