Expresses support for establishment of "Farmers Bill of Rights."
ACR 116 is a New Jersey Assembly concurrent resolution expressing support for a "Farmers Bill of Rights" that would establish specific rights for farmers. It outlines concrete rights including fair access to markets for seeds and equipment, the right to repair farm machinery, transparent product labeling, protection of farmland, and access to fair capital. The resolution does not create new laws but urges the U.S. Congress to pass similar legislation and asks federal and state agencies to support the agricultural community. This symbolic resolution directly addresses concerns about corporate concentration in agriculture and aims to influence federal policy.
