Did you know that just one company, Monsanto, controls more than 90% of the soybeans grown in the United States? And that they also control more than 80% of U.S. corn?
This extreme concentration of power is not unique to corn and soy. And it’s a big problem — not just for family farmers struggling to compete. Standing between you and the family farmer are a handful of corporations who control our entire food system from seed to plate.
Corporate concentration has many forms — factory farms, the dairy crisis, genetically engineered food — anything that puts the control of our food into the hands of a few companies and forces farmers out of business and off the land.
Speak out now! Tell the government that you trust family farmers with your food!
