State Senator Richard Ramsey and State Representative John Bru warned a Moravia high school meeting that a broad land use bill may pass limiting corporation farming. The joint gathering of the Moravia Adult Farmers class and Appanoose County Taxpayers Assn. eyed costs, a nine member County Land Use Policy Commission, and a 25 member State Land Use Agency with pay and an administrator.
