On Environment: Right to farm & ranch, despite environmental critics

Two pieces of legislation Mr. Parson co-sponsored as a state lawmaker were an expansion of so-called Castle Doctrine and an amendment that added the right to farm and ranch to Missouri's Constitution. The amendment on farming states, "The right of farmers and ranchers to engage in farming and ranching practices shall be forever guaranteed in the state." Among its critics are environmental groups, which say the amendment made it harder to hold farmers to account for unsafe practices. Source: N.Y.
