JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Opponents of a Missouri ballot measure that would create a “right to farm” asserted Thursday that the proposed constitutional amendment could make it harder to enforce environmental regulations against corporate farms.

More than 50 people representing a mixture of family farmers, animal welfare activists and environmentalists rallied at the Missouri Capitol in opposition to Constitutional Amendment 1 on the August ballot.
