NO ON AMENDMENT 1.....Agriculture is the backbone of Florida’s economy. People must understand Amendment One will put farmers, ranchers, and greenhouses out of production and, thus, out of business. These are the people who produce our food and much of the rest of the nation’s food. It’s not acceptable to force us into a situation where we must pay more to import food we are capable of producing in our own back yard. It’s not just food crops we will lose. Our nurseries produce ornamental and landscape plants that are a top ranked cash crop, contributing hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of private-sector jobs to our state economy. Floridians must reject Amendment 1. Our state is not just for tourists, and our state’s productive agricultural land should not be converted to eco-tourism playgrounds. People need to work, and people need to eat. No farms, no food.
