Wow, measure 1 was beaten badly in North Dakota , 75% no to 25% yes.

More or less, ND legislators voted last year to make exceptions to the 1933 ban on nonfamily corporate farming. The exemptions would allow for corporate dairy and swine production. People were not happy with the change, so the North Dakota Farmers' Union began circulating petitions to challenge it soon after it passed. My very conservative father in law and brother in law were all for the change, but I don't know how much time they've spent near industrial pig farms.

The ban is being also challenged in court, but who knows how that will go. The New York Times wrote a decent article on it if anyone is interested.
