Roscoe Filburn

Roscoe Filburn was an Ohio farmer who under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of the New Deal could legally grow no more than 11.1 acres (45,000 m²) of wheat. One year he grew 23 acres (93,000 m²), claiming that it did not violate the Agricultural Adjustment Act — and the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution — as he consumed it on his farm, and it was not subject to interstate commerce. The case rose to the Supreme Court under the case of Wickard v. Filburn.
