LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A ballot proposal that would have enshrined farming rights in Nebraska’s constitution has stalled in a legislative committee.

The measure failed to muster enough support Tuesday from members of the Agriculture Committee, some of whom raised concerns that the amendment was too broad.

Sen. Jerry Johnson of Wahoo, the committee chairman, says lawmakers need more time to study the issue. Johnson says he doesn’t plan to bring it up again this year.

The proposal would guarantee the right to “engage in farming and ranching practices” and prevent the Legislature from passing new regulations without a compelling state interest.

North Dakota voters approved a similar measure in 2012, followed by Missouri in 2014. Oklahoma voters will also consider a right-to-farm amendment in the November general election.
