resolution, Edmondson
said. This has meat to
it. There are legal ramifications.
After speaking, Edmondson took a few
questions from the audience. The first question
spoke to the farmers
concern over the longterm security of his
operation, especially
given the funding No on
777 receives from lobby
groups.
Your grandchildren
will have more to fear
from being squeezed
out of the market by
big agriculture than by
Humane Society of the
United States, Edmondson said.
State Question 777
will be decided by Oklahoma voters as a part
of the general election
ballot.

technology.
Make use of livestock procedures,
Make use of ranching
practices.
Oklahomans already have
the right to make use of agriculture technology, livestock
procedures and ranching
practices, but the ballot language on SQ 777 states These
constitutional rights receive
extra protection under this
measure that not all constitutional rights receive.
This extra protection is a
limit on lawmakers ability to
interfere with the exercise of
these rights, the ballot language on SQ 777 continues.
Under this extra protection,
no law can interfere with
these rights, unless the law is
justified by a compelling state
interest a clearly identified
state interest of the highest
order. Additionally, the law
must be necessary to serve
that compelling state interest.
It goes on to state that the
measure and the protections
identified above do not apply to and do not impact state
laws related to trespass, eminent domain, dominance of
mineral interests, easements,
right of way or other property
rights and any state statutes
and political subdivision ordinances enacted before Dec.
31, 2014.
Critics of the proposal, including Stager and the OML,
contend the compelling state
interest requirement before
the legislature can act on agricultural-related issues if the
measure passes is too broad
and ties the hands of the legislature, local governments
and other governmental entities to protect the public.
Buchanan, on behalf of the
OFB, said hes concerned outsiders are trying to influence
what happens with Oklahoma
agriculture.
What were seeing are national activist groups that are
pursuing their own agenda,
he said.
Buchanan noted that righ to
farm measures have already
passed in Missouri and South
Dakota.
