Protect the Harvest Ready to Take on Opposition to State Question 777

Tue, 24 Nov 2015 17:32:22 CST

Protect the Harvest Ready to Take on Opposition to State Question 777 Oklahoma agriculture has a friend in the group Protect the Harvest in promoting State Question 777, the Right to Farm amendment that will be voted on next November. Protect The Harvest was created to defend and preserve the freedoms of American consumers, farmers, ranchers, outdoor enthusiasts, and animal owners. With an early start in promoting State Question 777, Protect the Harvest Executive Director Brian Klippenstein is excited about the prospects of victory.


"We're excited about the coalition that's coming together, the early and the hard work, the enthusiastic work that's going on," Klippenstein said.


Klippenstein is also excited about starting a conversation about food with the state's consumers. He said often times we focus on the agricultural producer and don't put as much attention on the other 99 percent who are the beneficiaries of what the producer provides, which is affordable food choices. He said ultimately the consumer has the most to gain from passage of the Right to Farm amendment.


"Everything that the activists propose these days has at least one thing in common and that is...it costs more to put food on your plate," Klippenstein said. "It costs more at the grocery store, at the restaurant and that's just bad news for consumers."


Protect the Harvest also helped Missouri in promoting the Missouri Farming Rights Amendment, known as Amendment 1. Klippenstein said Oklahoma has gained valuable lessons from Missouri.


"Oklahoma will not be surprised when the deceptive ads come in from the other side, when the big money comes in, when the divide and conqueror strategy comes in," Klippenstein said. "I think getting to people early with the truth is going to make a world of difference, so I'm very optimistic."


Protect the Harvest is planning there will be opposition and a large commitment to defeat State Question 777. In fighting back, Klippenstein said the first step is building a lead and a base of support for the amendment before the campaigning begins.
