USDA police?

[Leadeye]

News this AM showed a raid and warrant service in Indy and supposedly Muncie. Talking heads were listing agencies involved which included the USDA and sure enough I saw some jackets with those letters on the back. What would they be doing in the city and when did they get enforcers? It's been a long time since my ag days, things must have changed.

Rather mysterious...

7 arrested in central Indiana as drug trafficking, dog fighting investigation continues

The men were each charged with "conspiracy to engage in an animal fighting venture."

A spokesperson with the FBI said the reason for the investigation "will be available at a later date and time."

They have always had police esp when the Mexican farmers are importing cows into the US for beef set for Americans. They are usually in ports of entry along the southern border and a few along our border with Canada.

You think they're busting an illicit cow trafficking operation in Indy and Muncie?

The warrant service in the city confused me, the gardener thought maybe it was indoor pot farmers, but I think that would be DEA.

During my ag days our contact with the USDA was all about farming.

Learn something new every day.

I agree that it would be more likely for DEA to be involved if it was a pot growing operation.

Maybe they are feeding the cows pot... gives them the munchies, they eat more, they go to market faster. HHHhhhhmmmmm...

FULL DISCLOSURE: a friend from high school said this, when we were in high school. He is a farmer... hhhhmmmmmm.

Can't even buy raw apple cider anymore. It tasted sooo much better than the pasteurized crap.

A friend of mine used to own a 7/11, there was douche bag usda inspector that would come in there occasionally, guy was the biggest ass you could imagine, seriously made Barney Fife look like a level headed officer.

He never found any violations aside from a light bulb out in the walk in or some other piddly nonsense, but the guy was beyond a jerk every time he came in.

They've long had a small law enforcement division, and it's mostly about fraud cases. Farm subsidy fraud, etc.

I bet it's more dog fighting/drug trafficking they're investigating. This is from August 31st/September 1st. USDA was involved in that also.

FBI conducts raids for suspected drug trafficking, animal fighting at several Indianapolis homes

An FBI spokesperson said agents made multiple arrests and seized drugs, guns, cash and dogs.

Thats true, and thats how my family still does it.
But, its all good until fruit pickups off the ground are used and folks are given Salmonella, E. coli or Cryptosporidium parasites.

What fed dept, agency, bureau, etc doesn't have their own enforcement division? And I'm serious, I think last time I checked there was around 100 armed fed LE departments.

No I didn't. Thanks

Tuttle orchard uses UV pasteurization, you can make really good wine from cider bought there.

Hence my question, do you notice the taste difference between unpasteurized and the UV pasteurization?
