GothenburgTimes.com reports that as "average Americans are three generations removed from the farm," Willow Holoubek, organizational director of the Alliance for the Future of Agriculture in Nebraska (A-FAN), says that disconnect "leads to many people not understanding agriculture and how it has changed." Holoubek said, "Promoting agriculture is important ... (because) it has come under attack from some animal rights groups and others."
She noted that "animal rights extremist groups play on human emotions," while pushing "ballot initiatives in several states (to) put regulations on farming and ranching."
