We're still buzzing from #FarmAid2023!🤩 Our very own @sherri_dugger moderated @FarmAid's "People's Hearing," advocating for a #FarmBill that gives a voice back to family farmers + communities, tackles climate change, and promotes racial justice.💯

Craig Watts, a former chicken grower and head of @SRAProject's Contract Grower Transition Program, talks the harsh realities of contract growing: "It cost me a million dollars to get a minimum wage job." @CraigWcafarms92 #FairShake #ProtectFarmers

"Legislative majorities...are for local control and personal freedoms until they’re not. When they don’t like what local officials are doing, or industry lobbyists warn of problems, they act, sometimes quickly."

We're calling on #Congress to make a change! Join us at the #FoodNotFeed Summit to fight for a #FarmBill that prioritizes healthy food for Americans, NOT feed for multinational livestock operations.

CAFOs hurt small farmers. They don't make good neighbors and they destroy rural communities. Big thanks to @EvaRTesfaye for covering this important issue! @kcur

🚨 The future of Nebraska is at stake, and we need your help!

Tell #NDEE to NOT approve Blackshirt Feeders' proposed 150K-head cattle feedlot in Dundy County that would generate 3 BILLION pounds of waste each year. #StopFactoryFarms ⬇️ https://t.co/1cMWglBPCl

Great to see many Americans no longer turning a blind eye to the #pollution problems caused by our industrialized food system. When will @EPA do the same? 🤔 #StopFactoryFarms https://t.co/dYqmCrxfez

[Socially Responsible Agriculture Project (SRAP) @SRAProject]

A lack of regulation in Butler County, #Nebraska, has led to an influx of industrial poultry operations owned by out-of-state investors that don't care about being good neighbors.😔#StopFactoryFarms #BadNeighbors https://t.co/YNd0TOdlsf

@kcmo76 @TheHeartlandPOD As does yours! 😁💜

Big Pork says raising 24M factory farm hogs is good for Iowans. But a new @foodandwater report shows IA counties w/the most hogs have ⬆️levels of depopulation, heavier job losses + see more retail businesses & grocery stores close vs. other rural counties.

🚨 BREAKING: @SRAProject reviewed 30 years of public records and found that @SmithfieldFoods' factory farms spilled more than 7.3 million gallons of hog waste on land + waterways across #Missouri. Read the #SmithfieldRapSheet👇 #StopFactoryFarms https://t.co/xnqGx0tcDk
