Details

Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
Looking back in history, there are dozens of nations that have faced famine because their farmers chose to produce cash crops instead of staple foods. While it is admirable that small farmers exist and can make the choices they make, often times it is the larger ones that over-produce cash crops. Thus, measures should be taken to ensure this does not happen to us. |
