Working to Fight the Monopoly Crisis in American Agriculture
Decades of consolidation in the agriculture industry have devastated family agriculture.
Every family farmer and rancher can talk personally about how corporate monopolies have negatively impacted their family, their business, and their local community. National Farmers Union is working to ensure America’s family farmers are heard by those in positions to force change.
