"Factory farms pose a real danger to our communities, our natural resources, and the livelihood of hardworking family farmers. A current USDA program is funneling taxpayer money to fund new and bigger factory farm operations that lead to the gross overproduction of hogs and poultry. So much livestock is being churned out that it has caused a long-term depression of producer prices, forcing family farmers out of business. The longer the USDA continues this misguided policy, the greater the threat to small farmers who are already being squeezed in this economy. Please fill out the form below to add your name to our letter telling Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to stop using taxpayer money to prop up factory farms."
