If you lose 1 billion dollars per month for 12 months in a 50 billion dollar industry, where does that leave you. Not very good. Thanks for the 350 million though, that should fill up a couple gas tanks, and maybe put some new shoes on the kids for school. What a joke. thats nice that everyone covered the same stuff again, as the nations dairy industry lost another Billion, hard earned dollars in the last 30 days.

It is protecting and promoting industrial farms which put the small and medium sized farmers out of business. Do some reading on this issue Pearl it may just wake you up!

The HSUS has done nothing but belittle, attack, and made farmers look like ogres for as long as i can remember. I have not one issue with people wanting to be Vegan, etc. But the last time i looked this country said I have a right to be heard. People are sick and tired of being told you cant do this and you cant do that because i personally dont like it! Now let me speak loudly and clearly. We farmers have always been quiet folk. We are sick to death of being told we are the backbone of this countries food supply yet get kicked in the teeth by those we feed! We are sick to death of the AG, the FED, the HSUS telling us we are always wrong, out of step, out of place, and un needed, and un wanted! We are sick to death of the handouts we have to take from the FED because we are regulated beyond control by the very ones who are trying to shut us down. AG, FED, HSUS, and all the rest of you "i know better so do what i say" whinners and complainers. Get out of our way, let us do our job. Fine me if i do disobey the law! but stop making it harder for me to my job! My family has been farming Ohio for just over a hundreed years.

Animal cruelty aside, the industry should not be able to regulate itself. The "board" will be made of corporate farms who donate to the politicians that appoint them. There is ONE animal rights member on the board and ZERO environmentalists. The big losers here are the consumers. Way to go OHIO! Issue 2 should never of passed!

In the spring I love watching the new baby animals run in the fields. It tears my heart out when I go by the veal farm. It is the factory farming that I hate, it is a disgusting filthy way to make money. Feeding cows cardboard boxes, and chicken shxx is cruel, cows eat grass....Breaking the legs of chickens before they are killed is cruel.... Leaving a sick calf on the side of the road for the meat company to pick up (they grind it up for cheap hamburger) is ruthless..... Peta donates money, big money to shelters and helping animals in need.The HSUS has a ranch in California, they take in unwanted abused animals of all kinds, from farm animals to Chimpanzees... I don't want elephants and chimpanzees beaten and mistreated by their trainers. I expect more out of humans than that. In 1950 Mrs.Stevens was trying to upgrade the humane slaughter of animals in meat processing plants, USDA called her a DO-GOODER. We need to help protect the animals, even if we are meat eaters and love dairy products.. I am rutting for the families of the USA, our way of life is on the chopping block.....the representatives and senators we voted in should do what we ask or get out of office.....Good luck Ohio....

You farmers better hold onto your hats cause when the HSUS comes you won't even know what hit you!!!! Better line your pockets with all the money you can stash now cause these good times are coming to a screeching halt!

That means 98% of the Ohio population has given other 2% of the population (farmers) the permanent and exclusive right to determine how their meat is raised. End of story. In otherwords, farmers we don't care how raise animals, just give us poorly inspected, untraceable but CHEAP meat! It’s hard to believe but Issue has now passed.

Voters do not read or research the issues as is done in Wisconsin which is a truly dairy state. Farm Bureau could have prevented this issue from ever appearing if it just created a two tier system of animal industry. Those livestock operations requiring permits being called commercial, the remainder where the farmer does the actual work and lives on the farm, family farms. The commercial operations would be taxed on their sales, and have no zoning abatements. In other words they could not plunk themselves down west of another farm bureau member's home of 32 years destroying the quality of life and personal property rights of members, so much for a caring farm bureau. I would not rejoice just yet on this issue, it is bound to return to a more educated voter agenda. Ohio is one of the most backward states in the country.
