Statement on Vote Recount of Constitutional Amendment #1 from Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst

 

“Missouri family farmers and consumers are the winners of the recount validating the passage of Constitutional Amendment #1, the farming rights amendment. Missouri farmers will have greater protection from unjustified and costly restrictions placed upon them by out-of-state, extreme organizations like the Humane Society of the United States. Consumers will continue to have a multitude of safe food choices that best fit their family’s budget,” said Blake Hurst, president of Missouri Farm Bureau. “Although the recount was unnecessary and costly to Missouri taxpayers, we are pleased with the results upholding the passage of Amendment #1.”
