Here is a great article by Joel Salatin (the author of the book I'm currently reading "You Can Farm"). He explains how the agricultural bureaucracy machine makes everything he want's to do illegal.
I read this piece a year ago for the first time and have since then run into some of the exact same issues he addresses here on the farm I work at now.
