A state senator believes outside, extreme animal rights and environmental groups pose a real risk to agriculture…and Nebraska voters should include a “right to farm” in the state constitution.
Senator John Kuehn of Heartwell told the Agriculture Committee the threat against farming and ranching is real. . .

Not all farmers appearing before the Agriculture Committee support a move to include the “right to farm” in the state constitution.
Plymouth farmer Vern Jentzen told committee members he opposes the measure. . .

The resolution would go to a vote of the people if approved by the Unicameral.
