"We still don't drink our water."
In Pennsylvania, slaughterhouse waste can be spread on farm fields with little to no oversight. Residents won their case in court—but the slaughterhouse isn't required to change how it operates.

Taxpayers shouldn't be left footing the bill for polluted drinking water.
Princeton, Iowa spent $800,000 on a new well—and the water still isn't safe to drink.
Rural communities deserve better.

A proposed 350,000-chicken factory farm would be located within a mile of homes, schools, parks, public waterways, and other community spaces in Muncy Creek Township, Pennsylvania.
Local voices belong at the center of these decisions.

A USDA rule aimed at fairer pay and greater transparency for contract growers has been delayed again—now to December 2027. 🚨
Delaying fairness only benefits the corporations already holding the power.

These are real people living with real consequences.
Factory farms don’t just impact animals—they impact neighbors, families, schools, local economies, roads, clean water, public health, and the very fabric of rural communities.

What happens after you sign the contract?
Too many growers are left isolated, overwhelmed, and trapped in debt by a system designed to keep them powerless.
No grower should have to face it alone. Learn more: growersunite.org

“Letting Monsanto off the hook so Big Ag can grow even more powerful is the last thing farmers need right now.”
Big Ag has spent decades consolidating power while independent farmers and rural communities pay the price.

Family farmers survive by helping each other.
Big Ag survives by consolidating power, squeezing out competition, and putting profits first.
That difference matters!
"We Don't Make Enough to Be Greedy" — Willie Booker
What sets family farmers apart from the corporate operations trying to squeeze them out is farmers sharing what they have, including knowledge. That willingness to help each other rather than just compete is a real strength.

Nitrate crisis: “Pretending the problem doesn’t exist is not a legal option. Instead, @EPA needs to protect Iowans and follow the Clean Water Act by acknowledging that nitrate contaminates drinking water,” said @Iowa_Env general counsel Michael Schmidt.

The Department of Justice just settled a case involving Agri Stats and Big Chicken, accused of sharing sensitive data to manipulate grocery prices.
At a time when families are paying so much for groceries, transparency and accountability matter.

The Farm Bill is heading to the Senate and could override voter-approved laws like Prop 12 that set stronger standards for industrial agriculture.
Communities & family farmers deserve the right to shape what happens where they live.
