What a journey it has been. The Freedom for Farmers family wants to thank those across our state that advocated for our freedom. The original Farm Bill S639 tried to trounce our liberties and even set up a fall back safety study that could be weaponized to further decimate the raw milk farming community. The language we asked to be removed found in Sections 15(b) and 20 were thankfully removed along with Section 17, which would've set the NC Dept of Ag against us with police state powers.

Thank you again to all those that called, emailed, and went to Raleigh on our behalf. Huge shout out to the House Freedom Caucus and Representative Keith Kidwell. You are all appreciated.

We will vigilantly watch with the hopes we do not see such oppressive language again so we can continue providing healthy nourishment for our state.

Speaker Hall needs to make it happen.

The majority of the Duplin County Commissioners are against a constitutional amendment capping our property taxes, except Commissioner Justin Edwards (and Commissioner Garner was absent for the vote on their Resolution so I do not know his position on it). Looks like our income tax may get capped too. I welcome caps and making life more affordable.

North Carolina voters could have a choice in whether the state's income tax gets capped.

A Senate committee advanced a proposal Monday that would ask voters to lower the state’s constitutional income tax cap to 3.5%, as newly revised revenue forecasts show the state is bringing in far more money than expected.
