Some of the Washington County
family farmers who spoke against Buffalo River protection resolution approved by City Council on 16 April 2013. They feel that any restrictions on giant corporate farmers would threaten their freedom. But they also say that they pay as much for a small-farm permit as giant corporations do. Obvious why they are disgruntled. Resolution got all 8 votes of the council plus Mayor Jordan's impassioned plea for watershed protection.
