Summary

There are millions of family farms in America but four companies control 85% of corn seeds, 90% of grain, and 85% of beef processing in the USA. According to the USDA, an average of 63 US farms close down every day. Dr. Meryl Nass and Alison Morrow discuss the global attack on farmers and Florida’s raw milk controversy where small dairy farmers face regulatory hurdles from big dairy interests.
