Michigan Loses Right to Farm Act-save this right!
- av: Jen Andrashie

I am writing to express my concern regarding the Right To Farm Act that was lost to Michigan residents recently. This ruling will have significant impacts on farmers and those that raise their own food/livestock.
Several years ago, our ancestors raised their own food on their land with no problems. Now we do have grocery stores and markets that we can buy food from, but much of this food is full of unhealthy substance and some products are even harmful. Farmers not only grow and raise their own food but they also sell it at markets that are depended on for income, so they can continue that cycle. Others can't afford to purchase food from stores, so they have no choice but to raise their own food.
Please don't take away the right for anyone to eat independently. You are taking away some families only food source.
Sincerely,

Attention has been brought to this big issue! There is now a public hearing to be held discussing the changes to Michigan's Right To Farm Act. It is now being looked at by the Legislature and the Senate Agriculture Commitee!
