Doyle Johannes, Underwood, N.D., letter: Farmers, ranchers need N.D. voters' help
Anyone who tells you that Measure 3 will give farmers and ranchers license to pollute or be negligent doesn’t understand how seriously farmers and ranchers take their jobs. I’m a farmer, and I have gone to great lengths to make sure the practices I use are the best for the land and for the animals I raise.
My family and I eat the same food that Herald readers do. I don’t take my job lightly.

Phil Jore, Williston, N.D., letter: Measure blocks Legislature from regulating GM crops
It appears to me that Measure 3 would prevent our Legislature from taking any action against the use of GM crops, the use of glyphosate or other new discoveries, even if there was overwhelming evidence of their dangers.

Heather Szklarski, Grafton, N.D., letter: ‘Modern’ farming sometimes pollutes
Modern does not mean “safe,” “efficient,” “economical” or even “good.” It simply means new: “contemporary,” “not antiquated or obsolete” or “of or pertaining to recent time.”
There are many things that are considered “modern” that science has proven to be inferior to the “antiquated” model. Formula feeding vs. breast feeding infants is one.

Irene Zieske, East Grand Forks, letter: The right to farm or right to harm?
When one reads “Right to Farm” on the ballot, one might think “of course” and vote yes; but it has nothing to do with crop farmers.
Measure 3 has been concocted by the North Dakota Farm Bureau primarily to protect animal agriculture.

Mary Margaret Mooney, Fargo, letter: Farming needs lawmakers’ oversight
Farming and ranching practices are not simple chores; they are complex and evolving interactions with the environment.

Tom Christensen, Verona, N.D., letter: Farming amendment deserves N.D.’s support
If you look at the measure’s plain language, you’ll see that it lets farmers and ranchers keep operating the way they do today.

Link Reinhiller, Hazen, N.D., letter: Measure could create, not solve, farm problems
Measure 3 on the November ballot will not actually protect farmers and ranchers. Instead, it will open up a flood of problems.

Cameron Livingstone, Grand Forks, letter: Why Measure 3 is dangerous
Measure 3 doesn’t include any built-in protections (as other states have) for civil rights laws, safety laws or laws that prohibit discrimination.
