[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2915854, member: 3099"] z I agree that it becomes more attractive, but I fail to see how it can possibly be a game changer. I work in oil & gas which is regulated out the ass. We still operate, we just find ways to make it work. Farming is no different and in some ways it's the same (land intensive). If the money is there they'll do it. I don't see the [I][B]possible[/B][/I] cost of litigation as being a huge deal to a big corporate farming operator's bottom line. And that's about the only thing this changes in that regard that I can think of. If I could see that it would really bump their balance sheet I could see your point. Remember this doesn't take any laws or regs off the books, but it might after litigation. So they can come in right now [B][I]OR [/I][/B]after this passes and follow the existing laws and regs and it does nothing to them at all. As a matter of fact, I can see big corporate meat packers actually benefitting from it passing as it would protect them from the PETA types filing bogus law suits and messing with their practices just like the small family owned ranchers.
