Yes, it would. But there isn't currently a law limiting the amount of tomatoes one can grow especially for personal consumption. In 1938, the Agricultural Adjustment Act was passed. This law tried to control the prices of food by determining quotas for production. Filburn was allowed to grow ~11 acres of wheat. He went and grew 23 acres of wheat, setting aside the overproduction for personal consumption while taking that ~11 acres to market.
