Save our local Potato Farmers
Most recently a local potato farmer has shut down this year's operations due to new federal laws regarding homeland security and fencing in fields with 24 hour security guards. Please help in fighting these new federal guidelines so our local potato farmers can run their businesses.
Why is this important?
Our local potato fields are located in very rural areas. There is no reason to require fencing and 24 hour security guards with the threat of terrorism here in the U.P. Our local potato farmers have provided potatoes for many years. How heartbreaking that some are now shutting down their family businesses due to new federal regulations. Please sign to support your local potato farmer.
