Wickard v. Filburn is crazy. Filburn grew his own crops on his own land to feed his own animals. The government fined him under interstate commerce laws for growing too much wheat. >The Court decided that Filburn's wheat-growing activities reduced the amount of wheat he would buy for animal feed on the open market, which is traded nationally, is thus interstate, and is therefore within the scope of the Commerce Clause. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn |

> Filburn was not a hobbyist growing a little food for his family[ ...] was someone with a commercial farm who [...] wanted to take advantage of federal price supports that allowed him to sell the wheat for more than twice the price it would command on the world market. While he wanted to take advantage of the federal guarantees, however, he wasn’t willing to comply with the federal regulations, which included a production quota that was a crucial element in the price supports
