Jim, Have you read/do you understand ND "Measure 1"?
It is NOT a simple yes or no vote for or against corporate farming.
If I understand it correctly, it is about blocking or not blocking a law the Legislate passed in 2015 allowing LIMITED corporate farming.
The North Dakota Farm Bureau has filled a lawsuit seeking to get the original 1930's law declared unconstitutional allowing corporate farming on a much wider scale, this lawsuit will be more far-reaching and important than how the vote on Measure 1 turns out.
" North Dakota is one of ONLY nine states — all in the Midwest and Great Plains — with anti-corporate farm laws."
" legislators said they believe the law is unconstitutional on a number of grounds: it is an "undue burden to interstate commerce;" it "limits the ability of North Dakota farmers to obtain investors, which adversely affects their ability to secure financing, which is crucial to keeping their farm operations viable;" and it "treats similarly situated individuals differently, affording to some corporations, limited liability companies and other persons opportunities while denying this opportunity to others."
IMHO, it's about time we got out of an antiquated mindset and get on the same page as most other states. I hope the Farm Bureau prevails.
NOT sure, though, how many voters will take the time to figure out which way to vote to best serve their beliefs! Initiated measure can be TRICKY.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
