Welcome to our pork loving ag blog where we are Hog Wild about farming. Here in Missouri, at Bacon Blogger HQ, we roll with around 44,000 snouts a year--all of which enjoy indoor accommodations. We want to share our story of family, farming, and food with you! So, stick around to learn about a real farm family and see what modern pig farming is all about...maybe you'll go hog wild too.

I have heard many concerns about Right to Farm, so I spoke with Brent Haden from The Law Firm of Hayden and Byrne. Brent was involved in the drafting of this amendment and here is a series that answers several questions and concerns that people have.
Concern: Right to Farm is merely a curtain for corporations to hide behind.
Question: Does Amendment 1 protect corporations? What does it actually do?
