摘要

农业权利法始于20世纪70年代。2014年，密苏里州居民投票通过了一项农业权宪法修正案，该修正案赋予农民宪法保护，使其免受与农业生产有关的妨害诉讼。修正案以50.12%对49.88%的支持率通过。我们使用县级投票数据的经验中值选民模型来分析赞成投票的决定因素。我们发现，以牛的数量、种植的英亩数和农业就业率衡量，一个县农业利益的增加与更高的赞成票比例有关。我们的研究结果强调了广泛的农业利益获得农业宪法预测的重要性。

The political economy of state right to farm amendments: evidence from Missouri

Right-to-farm laws started in the 1970s. In 2014, Missouri residents voted on a right-to-farm constitutional amendment that gave farmers constitutional protection from nuisance suits related to agricultural production. The Amendment passed 50.12% to 49.88%. We use an empirical median voter model on county-level voting data to analyze the determinants of yes voting. We find that an increased presence of agricultural interests in a county as measured by head of cattle, acres planted, and % employed in agriculture were associated with a higher percentage of yes votes. Our results highlight the importance of widespread farm interests obtaining constitutional projections for farming.
