Taking on State Law in Defense of Family Farms

Alliance Partners, Piedmont Environmental Council |

It’s reasonable that Mike and Tina Roebuck want to hold on to the 112-acre Madison County farm that’s been in the Roebuck family for nearly 150 years. But a clause in a Virginia state law contained an unreasonable requirement that nearly cost the Roebucks the farm, quite literally. And when PEC heard about their predicament, our state policy team went to work.

The post Taking on State Law in Defense of Family Farms appeared first on The Piedmont Environmental Council.
