STAND WITH FARMERS

Family farmers should be able to make a living without being squeezed out by consolidation.

Break up monopolies controlling farm inputs and processing.

Strengthen and enforce antitrust laws against dominant seed, fertilizer, meatpacking, and equipment corporations that squeeze farmers with high costs and limited market access.

Guarantee fair competition so farmers receive fair prices.

Strengthen enforcement of market rules and transparency so processors and buyers cannot manipulate prices paid to producers.

Protect farmers from abusive contracts and retaliation.

Establish clear rights and legal safeguards so corporations cannot trap producers in unfair agreements or punish those who speak out.

Support independent producers and local food systems.

Invest in local processing, distribution, and markets so farmers have alternatives to consolidated supply chains and can keep more value local.

Ensure farmers have access to fair credit and disaster support.

Expand low-interest loans, crop insurance, and emergency relief so family farms can survive downturns, disasters, and volatile markets without selling out.
