'we plow over fields at 'some' cost to the farmer when the food could be picked and distributed by charitable groups at zero cost to the farmer.'

That's fine...but are you going to pay the farmer's insurance in case one of those charitable workers has an accident on his land and files suit against him? I personally think that if you sign a volunatary waiver when you come onto the farmer's land then that should be enough to keep him free of liability but as with many legal matters when you drill down into it things are not so simple.
