Times Bulletin: Of the three issues on ballots across Ohio this November, one has motivated farmers and farm groups to action. Issue 2 is a proposed state constitutional amendment which would establish a state board to govern the care standards of livestock raised in the Buckeye State.
Tuesday night at the annual meeting of the Van Wert County Farm Bureau, that issue was a major topic of discussion. The meeting's guest speaker, Sandy Kuhn, director of commodity relations for the Ohio Farm Bureau (OFB), described the reasoning for the establishment of this panel. "What this board would do is insure that Ohio has a safe, affordable food supply that's locally grown, that agriculture would remain a viable entity in Ohio, and that we promote economic development through agriculture continuing and people being allowed to have food choices when they go to the supermarket," she stated. Usually, groups like the OFB do not seek additional oversight from government, but Issue 2 is seen as a necessary step to maintain excellent care of livestock and to insure food safety. With agriculture being the top industry in the state, the issue becomes important to almost all state residents. "Agriculture has an economic impact of over $93 billion to Ohio's economy," Kuhn pointed out. "We are number two in ag production."

Good web page. Nice placing comments system. Sorry for the off-topic post, nonetheless I ended up being quite fascinated with Djokovic’s play in the final of the Aussie OPen this year. The guy is just unrivaled. He demonstrated he had been as powerful as iron. Only imagine about he he could defeat Nadal who was so encouraged to win as well as really was so energized up during the 5th set. Now i’m starting to believe that Djokovic is performing some religious work to bring some aids on his side that really help him win these kinds of matches up against the best players in the entire world
