ND – North Dakota Farmers Union President Mark Watne is confident that his organization will receive the necessary signatures to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot to overturn legislation that would loosen the state’s ban on corporate farming.

Supporters say the legislation is intended to revitalize dairy and swine farms after years of decline. But opponents believe a ban on corporate farming blocks unfair competition.

Supporters need to gather 13,452 signatures by June 18.
