Rural America is struggling. Why? Because the monopolies dominating agribusiness are squeezing them from all sides. That’s why we’re standing up for farmers, because consolidation hurts farmers, ranchers, & everyone across the country. #FairnessForFarmers

AFT joined @NFUDC, @NASDAnews, & @sustainableag in calling for inclusion of local food purchase as part of a congressional ag relief package. This bipartisan approach would provide reliable demand for farmers, nutritious food to communities, & keep more dollars circulating in rural America. bit.ly/4cfHhMg

.@SecRollins agrees with Farmers Union - mandatory country-of-origin labeling would create a fairer, more competitive market for American ranchers. Congress needs to restore this critical policy and provide consumers the transparency they demand.

. @POTUS is taking on the Big Beef cartel. 🥩Four packers: Cargill, JBS, Tyson, and National Beef—control 80% of America’s beef supply. JBS and National Beef are effectively run from Brazil, where exports to China help set U.S. beef prices. That squeezes ranchers and hits consumers. President Trump has directed DOJ to act

We agree—American ranchers aren't to blame for high beef prices. It’s time to go after the big four meatpackers who dominate the beef industry, driving up prices for consumers and pushing family farmers and ranchers to the brink.
THANK YOU, @POTUS for standing up for America’s farmers, ranchers, and consumers! 🇺🇸 For far too long, hardworking ranching families have been squeezed by massive foreign-owned meatpacking corporations manipulating prices and driving family operations out of business. These global monopolies profit while everyday Americans pay more at the grocery store and rural communities struggle to survive. It’s time to put America First again in our food system. We need transparency, accountability, and a fair market that rewards those who actually raise and produce our beef — not the corporate middlemen gaming the system. Thank you, President Trump, for fighting for the heartland, for our farmers and ranchers, and for standing up to the corrupt forces that threaten our food security and American independence. 🇺🇸🐄🌾

Real scrutiny, enforcement, and accountability are long overdue. Investigating monopoly power in agriculture and upholding antitrust laws are essential to rebuilding fairness and competition in our food system.

"The farm economy is, if it isn't in a crisis, it's well on its way to one right now." The National Farmers Union says that continued delays in a new Farm Bill create uncertainty for the farm economy. #FarmBill #Trump #Economy #AgNews #ThankAFarmer #AgTwitter

NFU VP Mike Stranz joined @econliberties at the Anti-Monopoly Summit to call out corporate consolidation in our food system. Fairness for farmers starts with restoring competition and building a united front. #AMS2025

First up is Mike Stranz, Vice President of Advocacy at @NFUDC. "89% of the markets dominated by foreign companies for soybeans, 76% for seed. We see this also in fertilizer, pesticide and herbicide ... For pesticides, 84% concentration ratios."

"My family is also a customer of AgWest Farm Credit. We remain grateful for the time that @AgWestFC helped us through a period of major financial stress. "They understood the value of what we were trying to accomplish on our farm and more accurately evaluated our risk compared to other lenders we consulted." - John Wicks from @NFUDC during today's subcommittee hearing
