Comments on: Don't Cuss the Farmer With Your Mouth Full http://localfoodcolumbus.org/2009/03/dont-cuss-the-farmer-with-your-mouth-full/ News and views on local food in Central Ohio Sun, 11 Apr 2010 18:47:37 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: rebel with a cause http://localfoodcolumbus.org/2009/03/dont-cuss-the-farmer-with-your-mouth-full/comment-page-1/#comment-66 rebel with a cause Thu, 26 Mar 2009 20:13:18 +0000 http://localfoodcolumbus.wordpress.com/?p=319#comment-66 This is a wonderful blog. It's good to hear the truth about growing food in this big brother world. I would like to suggest another to consider as "anonymous complainant". The competition. This was a tactic that large corporations used in the 60's to hurt the small business whose territory they were taking over. "Your sidewalk is cracked". "Your floors need mopped." Your sink corners are square not rounded. You now have 30 days to comply by getting a bank loan to upgrade or die. I was hopeful when inner city members of OEFFA decided to sue the city on this issue only to hear that they decided to go underground instead. Cleveland recently got the blessing from their council members who voted to lower restrictions and work with the spin farmers unions forming there. Someday, perhaps it will happen in Columbus too.
