Dave Gragg for Missouri

Stolen from the Missouri Rural Crisis Center:

Amendment 3 and foreign corporate ownership of Missouri farmland may seem unrelated, but they're not.
Against the will of the vast majority of Missourians the Missouri legislature voted to allow 300,000 acres of Missouri farmland to be bought and owned by foreign corporations.
How are they able to so blatantly go against the will of Missouri voters and their constituents?

One problem was Missouri's former redistricting process was written by the very politicians and corporate lobbyists that benefit, where politicians rarely had to worry about having their records examined or what their voters wanted because they sit in intentionally created safe seats that rarely see a serious challenger--that will only get worse if we allow them to pass Amendment 3, a gerrymandering scheme not seen since the 1970s.

Next Tuesday, vote NO on Amendment 3.

Foreign ownership and Amendment 3 are both bad ideas As a family farmer here in Missouri, I’ve seen first-hand how complicated politics surrounding agriculture policy can get, and the way things interconnect, even when, at first glance, they look unrelated.
