Corporatism: Family Farms Under Attack
Farming has never been more important, challenging or rewarding than it is right now. That is why we have invited Jim Mundorf and Shad Sullivan to CHD.TV. These two come from generations of work ethic and dedication — raising animals and crops, caring for the land, navigating financial markets and providing food to people. They have learned just how deeply entrenched the system is in terms of its regulation of agriculture practices that favor “corporatism” over an honest living. Family operations are under attack, but there is hope for consumers and producers alike. “Getting truth back into agriculture” is the goal for Jim and Shad. Watch the show to learn more!
