I remember- he got a big fine too- let's see if I can find the story:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horne_v._Department_of_Agriculture

Looks like I was not aware he won the case. He refused to keep handing over half his crop and was fined something like $700,000 and sued.

Supreme Court found it was an unconstitutional taking.

I feel we don’t discuss the shady aspects of government interfering in agriculture enough in respect to government overreach.
