Kevin Craig - "Liberty Under God"
|
| We believe
that independent farming operations can produce agricultural
commodities of as good a quality and as economically as large
corporate farming operations. |
This is a question which should be
determined by the Free Market, not government regulation. |
| We support
regulations that would assure independent producers of market
accessibility. |
Should large corporate
farming operations have the power to use the government to impose
regulations which undercut independent producers? Everyone wants the
government to act "in our case" but not "our
competitors." MoFB and the farmers it represents must be
willing to give up favorable government treatment on its own behalf
in order to remove government intervention across the board
and ensure a Free Market. |
| We oppose
overly restrictive amendments to the Missouri corporate farming law
which might limit the incorporation options available to independent
farmers. |
| We oppose any
tax incentives, tax breaks, state grants or other governmental
assistance to corporate agricultural interests which are not
available to all producers. |
| We oppose
further exemptions of counties from the corporate agriculture law . |
