Monopolies have rewritten the rules to nickel and dime family farmers, ranchers, and other producers.

• Four corporations control 60% of our coffee, cookies, and bread market.
• Four corporations control 70% of our yogurt, beer, and soybean seeds. 
• Four corporations control 80% of our meat industry, two of which aren't even American.

This is bad because:

• Monopolies cause inflation.
• Monopolies lower productivity.
• This level of domination inevitably leads to abuse both towards consumers and farmers.

We are not against big farms or ranches, or against family-owned companies owning farms. We are greatly concerned about the transnational corporations that have and continue to rewrite the rules to enlarge themselves at the expense of everyone else. 

We want a free market for agriculture. Not a monopoly market.
