Farm Action’s Joe Maxwell just went to Washington and sounded the alarm: America’s ranchers are in “CRISIS.” “We cannot afford a food supply where foreign beef fills the gap while American ranchers go out of business.” And he named the first step that the Trump Administration

Farm Action will keep exposing how these mandatory fees siphon wealth from farmers, prop up monopoly power, and weaken fair competition—and we will keep fighting for real transparency, accountability, and farmer control. For our full breakdown on this topic check the article

Checkoff dollars claim to help producers. In reality, they entrench corporate control, siphon farmers�� wealth, and fuel the system driving them out of business.

Farmers are being forced to fund the very system that is driving them out of business. Checkoff programs were created decades ago as voluntary marketing funds.  Today they have expanded into government-mandated fees on 22 different commodities.  Every time a farmer sells

The cost of consolidation hits rural Nebraska. Here is how we rebound: 1. Enforce antitrust laws. 2. Support local processing. 3. Make COOL (country of origin labeling) mandatory. 4. Strengthen the U.S. cattle herd.

Tyson just closed a beef plant that processed 5,000 cattle a day. That's 3,200 workers out of a job in a town of just 10,000. A key buyer for ranchers gone overnight. This is how you get ten dollar ground beef and ranchers going broke at the same time. A major piece of

Here we go again. Egg prices could jump in 2026, and the industry is already laying the groundwork to justify it. They’re blaming bird flu and “tight supply.” Never forget what happened last time. In 2023, egg giant Cal-Maine raised prices and its profit margins jumped

Bill Bullard of @RCALFUSA says America lost 106,000 beef cattle operations in just five years — and it wasn’t an accident. “Since 2017, we saw beef prices going up… and cattle prices going down.” “The latest census shows that just in the five-year period from 2017 to 2022, we

White Oak Pastures owner Will Haris revealed that “industrial farming BROKE the cycles of nature.” Joe Rogan: “[Regenerative farming] is an agriculture where everything works in symbiosis.” “The chickens grazing, the manure that the cows lay—everything goes back together.”

NEW: Farm debt is expected to reach $560 billion this year—a record high. But it's not just because of the trade war with China. Farmers told us it's because a handful of corporations have taken control of their markets to ensure they always win, and farmers barely break even.

Tyson is closing one of the largest beef plants in the country right in the middle of the cattle shortage. When kill capacity drops, less beef hits the market and boxed beef prices usually go UP — not down. So how does shutting down a 5,000-head-per-day plant help “lower beef

🚨 Only half of America’s farmers are expected to be profitable next year. That is the lowest share since 2020. Farming has never been a path to getting rich. People farm because it is in their blood. Because they want to feed their communities. Because their families built

Americans should have the choice to buy American beef—and they should know what they’re buying. Here’s what you can do: Sign our petition below urging Congress to pass Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling to REQUIRE labels showing where cattle was born, raised, and slaughtered:

We just EXPOSED a secret monopoly that you are an active participant in—and you probably don’t even know it. 4 corporations—Walmart, Kroger, Costco, and Albertsons—control over 2/3 of America’s grocery market. They decide which farmers get paid, what ends up on shelves, and

For massive corporations, breaking the law is a profitable strategy—not a risk. Just 4 meatpackers control nearly 85% of the beef market. And they abuse that monopoly power to make BILLIONS. JBS made $4.3 billion in profit and paid only $72 million in price-fixing settlements.
