Right-to-farm has made its way to the Sooner State. It’s a topic that puts agriculture at odds with environmentalists and animal rights advocates reports StateImpact Oklahoma.
The right-to-farm amendment recently passed by a narrow margin in Missouri.
Now there’s a similar bill in Oklahoma. Rep. Scott Biggs is sponsoring the measure. He’s a Republican from Chickasha.
If it passes it will add this to the state constitution:
“The legislature shall pass no law that abridges the right of farmers and ranchers to employ agricultural technology and livestock production and ranching practices without a compelling state interest.”
