As part of that lawsuit, the plaintiffs sought an injunction to prevent the law from going into effect on July 1 as slated.\u00a0 The federal judge recently denied the motion for an injunction, meaning that the Florida law will remain in effect pending the litigation.\u00a0 Importantly, the denial applied only to the injunction.\u00a0 The parties will still proceed to litigate the constitutional challenge.\u00a0 Micah Brown and the National Agricultural Law Center wrote a great summary of this decision <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalaglawcenter.org\/federal-judge-decides-not-to-halt-enforcement-of-floridas-foreign-ownership-law\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>*<strong>The importance of farm safety.<\/strong> Farm Progress recently shared a moving story of an Illinois farm couple who are farm safety advocates after a devastating electrical injury on the farm.\u00a0 It is a great reminder about the importance of slowing down and taking care, especially during the busiest parts of the year.\u00a0 This article actually inspired me to do a podcast episode in honor of National Farm Safety and Health Month, which is coming up the third week of September.
