At their virtual Fly In on Wednesday, the National Farmers Union launched their Fairness for Farmers Campaign to battle against Monopolistic control of agriculture. NFU President Rob Larew says their main aim is to break up the consolidations that are harming U.S. agriculture.

He says farmers and consumers are being hurt by the over consolidation of the ag industry and the food supply chain has lost its competitiveness.

Larew says several steps must be taken to restore fair prices for farmers, ranchers and consumers and to correct the damage caused by the market concentration that’s taken over.

Larew adds that federal and state governments must strengthen food marketing and processing chains to promote competition and build a more resilient food system. And he says existing anti-trust laws must be vigorously enforced and new authorities must be adopted.
