Four years ago, I came to Mizzou never imagining where journalism would take me. Today, I'm humbled to be featured in @ShowMeMizzou’s commencement series, representing the J-School. Grateful for the chance to share my story.

A coalition of business leaders is proposing to put the long-decommissioned Benson Trolleys back into operation, using Ballard’s rail tracks on Shilshole.

I go in-depth on the proposal, the conflict and history of the streetcars in my newest PSBJ piece.

This was one of the of most insane monopolization schemes I've ever uncovered: Two secretive European companies rolled up every alternative supplier of egg-laying hens to American egg producers between 2010 and 2021—and have spent the past three years cashing in: raising hen prices on the back of high egg prices, throttling the supply of hens to egg producers to keep shortages going, and extracting billions in windfall profits along the way.

Refreshing to see politicians act quickly and address an important issue like this. Hopefully @HawleyMO call to action will allow more U.S. citizens to be aware of the fight for farmers’ rights in Missouri.

[Josh Hawley @HawleyMO]

After shutting down Missouri plants and taking Missouri jobs, now Tyson Food is trying to silence Missouri farmers and stop them from getting accountability. How about Tyson tells the world instead why it’s using slave child labor in its supply chains

Bombshell story from @egan_ward & @IMidwest: Tyson has been accused of working with Cal-Maine to prevent competing poultry processors from taking over its Dexter, MO plant for 25 yrs. Tyson also subpoenaed news outlets that spoke with farmers involved https://t.co/NgRKr4j3K0

SCOOP: Tyson Foods has subpoenaed two news organizations, demanding they turn over notes and contacts with local farmers whom Tyson Foods put out of business.
I've never seen such aggressive subpoenas issued by a major corporation to news media.

New investigation by Watchdog Writers Group reporter @egan_ward reveals coordinated efforts between Tyson Foods and Cal-Maine Foods that have severely harmed the livelihoods of hundreds of local farmers in Missouri.

[Christopher Leonard @CLeonardNews]

It appears that Tyson Foods CEO Donnie King misled U.S. Senator Josh Hawley last year when King said that Tyson would sell a local poultry plant to a competitor. In fact, Tyson signed a secret agreement limiting how the plant could be used.

Here's an excellent dispatch from Watchdog Writers Group reporter @egan_ward about @TysonFoods growing conflict with Missouri politicians, including @HawleyMO.
This is a huge story, and Egan is still reporting.
