Very much anticipating the next round in your exposé’ of the Farm Mafia. I’d like learning more about the international agrochemical corporate family’s role at the Mafia table as well.
Looking forward to this series of deep dives. Hoping the to be able to harness the power and ethic of the American farmer to continue building a more perfect union. Thanks for sharing Sarah.
Points taken about the origins of farmer power, but I think these days it is sustained by big food - large companies that depend on cheap inputs to keep their profits up. After all, the farm programs are barely keeping the _farmers_ in business. Their share of the value of what they produce is tiny, compared to what companies down the line make from it.
