“Four grocers control 85% of the grocery market.”
“Four meatpackers control 85% of meatpacking.”
“Two seed companies control 90% of the seed genetics in farming.”
“Three big [companies] control 85% of the inputs.”
“We’ve allowed the consolidation of just about every industry to the detriment of the consumer.”
Regenerative farmer Zach Lahn is calling for strong and swift antitrust action to break up Big Ag monopolies.
“Community values, according to our ancestors and according to our Founders, were more important than shareholder value.”
“Thomas Jefferson actually said in the early 1800s, right after they founded the country… I hope we kill in its infancy the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations who are already challenging us to a battle of wills.”
“And in the 80s, we really took our eye off the ball.”
“Now, we’re facing the repercussions of that.”

#AntiTrustEnforcement is a part of @GreenPartyUS’ platform https://t.co/4TZsXBXA42 the @doj and @ftc should investigate and break up the monopolies that are squeezing farmers, effecting the food supply, increasing costs, and contributing to #SystematicImpoverishment
Trump’s DOJ is investigating giant fertilizer corporations for possible “criminal antitrust violations.”
This kind of antitrust enforcement is long overdue.
American farmers are in a crisis.
And it’s a direct result of corporate consolidation and control across the entire food supply.
Our investigations have uncovered shocking levels of corporate consolidation in the U.S. fertilizer market:
“Nutrien and Mosaic control about 90% of the production capacity of both potash and phosphate fertilizers.”
And “Nutrien, CF Industries, Koch and Yara control about 82% of nitrogen-based fertilizers.”
This egregious level of corporate consolidation is squeezing more and more independent farmers out of business every day.
USDA Deputy Secretary Stephen Vaden accused Nutrien and Mosaic of “colluding to limit U.S. fertilizer supply and control prices.”
“Vaden called the two companies a ‘duopoly.’”
Now, conflict in the Middle East is “reigniting worries about reliance on foreign fertilizers.”
Fertilizer prices are already starting to skyrocket for independent farmers.
And the fertilizer market is just the tip of the iceberg.
We have also uncovered that just four companies control “more than half of all beef, poultry and pork processed in the U.S.”
And four other companies control “majorities of soybean and corn seeds.”
President Trump has signed several orders to investigate “potential price fixing and other anti-competitive behavior that drives up costs of goods such as meat, seeds and fertilize.”
Farm Action fully supports urgent investigation and action on this front, especially now that independent farmers are suffering from price hikes as a result of conflict in the Middle East.

#AntiTrustEnforcement is part of @GreenPartyUS Platform https://t.co/4TZsXBXA42 we must break up monopolies to restore a healthy market so farmers can produce food & make a living at reasonable prices instead of this artificial inflation contributing to #SystematicImpoverishment
“3 dozen corporations control nearly every industry involved in growing, processing and distributing our food, the whole chain.”
Farm Action’s Angela Huffman, on the Canary in a Cornfield podcast, exposed the shocking monopolization of America’s food system.
“We rely on just 4 corporations to produce 80% of our corn seed.”
“In the beef industry, 4 corporations control 85% of the market.”
“4 corporations control 69% of our grocery stores.”
“Economists say that when 4 corporations control more than 40% of the marketplace, abuses are likely to happen.”
“That means price fixing. It means squeezing farmers and retaliating against them when they speak out.”
“As a result, these companies are raking in record profits, farmers and workers are squeezed, and consumers are seeing higher costs at the grocery store.”

Antitrust law can be powerful.
Hear Sandeep explain on the latest #UtopiasPodcast how properly enforcing these laws protects consumers, fosters healthy competition, and can help reshape markets to serve the public good

Brussels need not wait for the AI Act to positively shape the technology's future. It already possesses powerful tools. For instance, the #DMA created in response to the shortcomings of traditional #antitrustenforcement, empowers the EC to mandate or prohibit specific practices.

@MaryLTrump Break up the monopolies! #AntiTrustEnforcement NOW! We also need to #RepealCitizensUnited and organize to make lobbying/lobbyists illegal and make small dollar public donations the only legal means of campaign finance. Also do away with dark money groups and bundlers. Ideas?
@andashleysays @NastyWorks Truth! #ICallBS on American oligarchy stranglehold on Justice and ineffectual #AntiTrustEnforcement. Where have trustbusters gone? #WDYK @amyklobuchar? @FedSoc? #KochBros? #117thCongress? @116thcongress? @115thcongress? #GQP? #TrumpEnablers? @LeaderMcConnell? @GOPLeader McCarthy?
#AmericanOligarchy is unafraid. Where have the trustbusters gone? I call malarkey on bad trusts. Sounds like a good job for fierce @KamalaHarris. What say you @JoeBiden? Enough mollycoddling of American oligarchs. Time for fisticuffs.
Happy weekend Albert. Stay SAFE.
