NCU community member Jon Leo’s comment in the NE Examiner is worth a read and is spot on.

Make America Healthy Again?

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.

[Angela Huffman @AngelaSHuffman]

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 America’s beef processing capacity just vanished while imported beef keeps rising.

When four companies control the beef sector, one plant closure can throw workers, ranchers, shoppers, and entire regions into uncertainty.

America deserves an economy that is not hostage to the decisions of a few powerful corporations.

Too many middle men grabbing at the farmer’s share this Thanksgiving.

NCU worked w/ 40 rural orgs on 26 rural policy recs including our key priorities: Restoring Competition from Corporate Capture, COOL, Support for Increasing Independent Meat Processing, Fair Taxes, Right to Repair, Local Food Markets & Regen Ag. https://t.co/NGzQUcQ2mK

Property owners near the site of a proposed eight-barn poultry operation are seeking judicial review of a Seward County Board's approval of a conditional-use permit. https://t.co/ukyJnlmuWS

[Nebraska Communities United @NCUnited1]

Just a reminder, we have extreme concentration amongst the big 4 meatpackers in the primary livestock sectors. Pursuing anti-trust measures to restore concentration would help level the playing field for more family farmers grow opportunities on rural Main Street.

Here is a good infograph on how a captured government benefits monopolies.

Let's get back to a responsible, good government, in which programs are designed to support family farmers and healthy food for people, NOT industrial monopolies.

[Nebraska Communities United @NCUnited1]

Ag monopolies have gone too far again. This article highlights what must be done now to save family farmers. https://t.co/ZFt8LrNHER

Surprise (but not surprising) reversal from the Seward County Board defies Planning & Zoning recommendations, dismisses local residents’ concerns. https://t.co/wq4HoDHf44

[Nebraska Communities United @NCUnited1]

Good to see Seward County taking their time to learn more about good governance to address the increasing pressures from CAFO’s (concentrated animal feeding operations).

@bob_zikes @grahamchristen We don’t want luck, we want strong, healthy communities. Pillens approach to degrade Nebraska water & sicken the publics health is not popular. Spread the good word, the times are about to change.

[Nebraska Communities United @NCUnited1]

“Family farms, not factory farms.” That’s the message from those in the community fighting the new zoning proposal. https://t.co/RlM0iGn8vW
