"After all, hundreds of thousands of cattle are fattening in a 100-mile radius around Garden City and such incidents could turn into a food security issue - especially in an era where agri-terrorism is a threat."

The only agri-terrorist incident I've heard of was The Breeders in the 80s. The California government surrendered to them and the conflict was resolved [1]. Is this era of agri-terrorism the years since 1989 or is it a brand new fantasy threat?
