This isn’t about right and wrong. This is about practicality against impracticality. Proponents of Bill 6 likely haven’t had to go out, after a full day of work and help a mama cow safely deliver her calf in the middle of a snowy, cold night. They haven’t had to run the tractor for 20 hours straight to get the crop in, because the forecast is calling for rain. Bill 6 may be well intentioned, but nature runs on her own clock and family farms need to retain the freedom they need to make a living and properly tend to their stock. As I once overheard, and always tell my kids, you need a doctor once a year, a lawyer once in a lifetime, but 3 times a day, you need a farmer or rancher. Instead of imposing imprudent laws on these good folks, let’s take some time and ask them what we can do to make their life better. – George
