As a Kansas rancher, I know firsthand that President Donald Trump won his 2016 election with tremendous support from communities like mine. Farmers and ranchers, whom Trump promised to support and stand behind, are under major threat from big agribusiness. Unfortunately, despite Trump’s campaign promises, when it was time to stand up against big agribusiness, he caved. His actions have left farmers and ranchers like me feeling betrayed and afraid for our economic futures.
I know what it’s like to have the boot of big agribusiness on your neck and how the deck is stacked against the producer.
