Answer:

The federal government can regulate Jen's activity citing the supreme court rule of the government ability to regulate any activity interstate or intrastate that affects interstate commerce.

In the line of this argument it means that a farmer growing and of goods affects interstate commerce.

The farmers best argument concerning the federal government regulating their activities due to interstate commerce is that his activities are purely local and although I don't believe any court will hear him out.
