The US isn’t the only democratic nation where the ill-intentioned make nation-altering change too quickly for the benefit of a politically privileged few. Brexit is a fool’s errand & UK farmers will soon be the first to learn that lesson. https://t.co/Ri8bev4wmi

Climate change, monopolistic practices & fair competition are neither right wing nor left wing. They’re mainstream and every farmer knows it. The problem is too few rely on science & law and too many rely on politics & gov’t subsidies. https://t.co/BHDE4KQ2Vc

Since 2015, gov’t program payments to farmers & ranchers have totaled $118B excluding $20B asked for in new covid spending. Would anyone forego portion for better rural schools, hospitals, roads, Internet, lakes, rivers & soil? https://t.co/O61JrkH6ra

And he did nothing to slow or stop Big Agbiz concentration despite series of hearings around the US in his tenure that repeatedly made plain the need. Now, 10 yrs later, a handful of global giants run much of ag, food & rural US. https://t.co/YPcDxsTYSU
