MSgt Ken "Airsoldier" Collins-Hardy I think the first step would be to agree on a definition. Countermeasures would be hard if not impossible to implement short of shutting down agricultural areas. One could easily deploy bio agents that could take over a herd or a crop, that could be done with a drone or an ultralite.

Farming communities are from my experience a pretty tight knit group as a whole, but if there is a real threat, the communities will need to communicate and watch out for one another. Tell your neighbors when you have crop dusters scheduled and let each other know when they see something that is unusual.

MSgt Ken "Airsoldier" Collins-Hardy Agro runs from seed in the hopper, to growing crops in the field, to harvested crops in storage or in transit to a processing facility. Each class will require security of its own, from "observant farmers/ranchers" through professionals in the other areas. Just a thought, and a great question, since food security is critically important.

I was going to go with minefields, tigers, and moats full of sharks wearing lasers... this works too though.
