It's come to this: Agriculture industry may seek right to farm

Such a story as this one would have been viewed as ludicrous just twenty years ago. But the far left after five years of Obama rule is emboldened. After all, the radicalized Environmental Protection Agency declared carbon dioxide--which is as natural as blue sky--a pollutant.

From AP:

Some powerful agriculture interests want to declare farming a right at the state level as part of a wider campaign to fortify the ag industry against crusades by animal-welfare activists and opponents of genetically modified crops.

The emerging battle could have lasting repercussions for the nation's food supply and for the millions of people worldwide who depend on U.S. agricultural exports. It's also possible that the right-to-farm idea could sputter as a merely symbolic gesture that carries little practical effect beyond driving up voter turnout in local elections.

"A couple of years from now, we might say this was the beginning of the trend," said Rusty Rumley, a senior staff attorney at the National Agricultural Law Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas. But "we really don't even know what they're going to mean."

Mark my words--the greenies will eventually attacking farming and they'll demand that huge swaths of productive land will be turned into nature preserves.

What will we eat?
