Join Farm Action and Barn Raiser on Tuesday, March 4, to hear Sonja Eayrs Sonja Trom Eayrs, author of Dodge County, Inc., and Joe Maxwell, co-founder of Farm Action, discuss how farmers and rural communities across the country can fight corporate power in the food and agriculture



Today, we sent a letter to Secretary Brooke Rollins sharing our new findings of illegal activity and insufficient oversight over the USDA's checkoff programs, and urging her to take action on behalf of farmers, ranchers, and producers mandated to pay into the $1 billion government program.






“It doesn’t have to be this way.” Farm Action’s Joe Maxwell calls out the pillaging of rural America by corporate special interests with government support. Check out highlights from our webinar with Barn Raiser on how to fight back. 🧵

Moderator Justin Perkins from Barn Raiser described the far-reaching impact of corporate consolidation on our food and farm system and its devastating impact on rural communities and farmers.


Barn Raiser's event, "Undoing the Power of Corporate Ag in Rural America," with Sonja Trom Eayrs Sonja Trom Eayrs, author of Dodge County, Inc., and Joe Maxwell, co-founder of Farm Action, was featured in an article from Public News Service. buff.ly/i7tGESH
