Funny! :)
In reality though, this is not uncommon and has been going on for decades. It actually happens quite often as a way to manipulate the domestic and international food markets.
The real question is, this time, how widespread is the request? I know quite a few hobby farmers (less than 5k acres) and I have not heard about the latest offerings hitting northern Indiana.
I'm not condoning it at all, but just saying this is not a revelation unless you never heard about the practice.
