MO Farm Bureau Legislative Agenda

The Missouri Farm Bureau lists their (2005) legislative initiatives for livestock regiulations:
1. We believe regulation of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations should be limited to state jurisdiction only.
2. Missouri Farm Bureau needs to work to find a solution to eliminate county health ordinances. They not only add one more layer of regulations on livestock producers, but will eventually drive the livestock industry out of the counties so affected and very possibly the whole state.
3. If a county considers a county health ordinance that would be stricter than state regulations pertaining to livestock operations, we support requiring the county governing body to consult with the local soil and water district board to ensure that decisions are based on sound, scientific principles.
