This will be briefer.

I've heard some things from some of the more-informed, and I am hereby altering my previous stance on Issue 2. Not to say I no longer think the things I said before; they are still true of me, and I'd still be against 2 were it not for the bigger picture overshadowing my petty views.

My point: Yes, putting regulations in place to enrich the lives of our livestock will come at a cost. However, that cost will be less severe than that which we'd be fixed with if "the other guys" get their way. Yes, there are "other guys." Apparently a group from California (which have enacted similar laws) have their hearts set on doing the same to Ohio, and they intend to do so in a way which would very likely come at greater cost to us. They aren't here so they won't be affected, and they don't know our farms/crops/weather/etc., so at best they'll be misinformed.

So pass Issue 2. Please. Even if your thoughts are inline with those which I've previously given, never mind them. Real farmers are genuinely concerned about how our state will be hit by this if it fails, and if they are, so should we be.
