Florida Farm Bureau led a statewide agriculture chorus Wednesday calling for a Legislative Override of the Governor’s recent vetoes of two major agriculture bills. 
Both bills passed with only two individual votes against them, which means these pieces of legislation garnered rare support by members of both parties, urban and rural interests, liberal and conservative lawmakers alike…yet the Governor still chose to veto them after legislative leaders say he had pledged his support. We spoke to Florida House Speaker Larry Cretul (photo top left),

Florida farmers will want to hear all three of these short interviews, as Farm Bureau calls its members statewide into action, and Cretul says House leaders are contemplating possible legal remedies to some of the veto actions being taken by the Governor.
