One company, 100% Chinese-owned, produces 60% of US pork. Four companies control over 80% of the US meat industry. The US food supply allows over 10,000 additives. 99% of chickens, 95% of hogs, and 78% of cattle in the US are raised in confinement. 80% of antibiotics consumed in the US are fed to animals; in 2016, 18.4 million pounds of antibiotics were sold for livestock. Suicide rates amongst farmers are higher than any other profession, including veterans.

Last year, the United States lost over 500,000 farms and more than 125 million acres of farmland. Local ranchers and producers need support now more than ever. It's important to buy American and buy local.

The speaker says the cattle industry has changed dramatically due to government allowance of meat processing consolidation. Four giant companies consolidated, which has a detrimental effect on national economic health. The government allowed two giant companies controlled by foreign governments to acquire US companies. One is controlled by the Chinese, who bought Smithfield, and the other is a Brazilian company. Four companies now control 85% of the industry and dictate who gets what, where, and when. The speaker claims the government has allowed over 50% of beef processing to be controlled by countries outside of the US. The speaker questions why the US would want an antagonist controlling 25% of its meat processing, citing food source security and the geopolitical situation.

I'm here to address why figures like Gates and China are acquiring farmland. I spent 20 years involved with factory farms and saw firsthand how Smithfield Foods transformed North Carolina's pork industry. Smithfield built a massive slaughterhouse and partnered with a state senator who made it nearly impossible to sue factory farms. They then introduced warehouse-style pig farming, driving pork prices down and forcing 28,000 independent hog farmers out of business, replacing them with 2,200 factories. Farmers who remained became controlled by Smithfield, losing autonomy over their land and practices. This model spread to Iowa, and eventually, Smithfield sold itself to China, giving them control over a large portion of American hog production. This shift undermines the vision of a democracy rooted in independent family farms and poses a significant threat to our democracy by consolidating control of our landscapes.

This administration aims to control food and people. Biden wants extreme heat rules for outdoor workers at just 80 degrees Fahrenheit. They're targeting American farmers, regulating land and water rights. Support local farmers, buy local to fight back against these threats.

I'm here to discuss why companies like Gates and China are buying up farmland. I spent years suing factory farms, including Smithfield Foods, the largest pork producer. Smithfield came to North Carolina and, with a partner, created large-scale hog warehouses, dropping pork prices from 60¢ to 2¢ a pound. This put 28,000 independent hog farmers out of business, replaced by 2,200 factories controlled by or contracted to Smithfield. Farmers became like serfs on their own land, losing control over their practices. Smithfield dictated everything. Because of the price drop in North Carolina, Iowa had to adopt the same system. Eventually Smithfield controlled 80% of US hog production and then sold itself to China. Now China owns a large part of our hog production, threatening Thomas Jefferson's vision of a democracy rooted in independent family farms. This industrial agriculture gives us substandard food and threatens American democracy.

The cattle industry has changed due to meat processing consolidation by 4 giant companies, two of which are controlled by foreign governments (China and Brazil). This raises concerns about national security and control over our food source. It is alarming that countries outside the US have significant influence over our meat processing, posing a risk to our geopolitical situation.

In November, Sonoma County, California plans to ban family and factory farms. Call the county clerk's office to oppose this attack on food sovereignty and American ranchers. Take action on Monday to get this off the ballot.

In November, the EPA will vote on a bill to add costly water treatment programs to butcher shops, impacting local producers. This move limits consumer choice and favors big packers. The cost is high for small businesses, potentially restricting access to locally sourced meat. The shift may push consumers towards larger corporations controlling most of the industry. Share your thoughts and remember to support American and local businesses.

The speaker discusses the impact of fires in Texas on the food supply chain, urging support for local farmers and ranchers.

Bill Gates and China are buying up American farmland, causing land prices to skyrocket and making it difficult for family farmers to afford. The National Black Farmers Association president, John Boyd Jr., believes that Gates' actions are driven by greed and are hurting American communities. He urges Americans to support local farmers and not buy into fake meat or genetically modified seeds. Boyd encourages people to start growing their own food and investing in rural America. He also criticizes the lack of oversight from the government and calls for support from political candidates. Boyd emphasizes the importance of natural, locally sourced food for both taste and health.

Speaker 0: Over 85% of the grass fed beef in the American market is imported product, not raised in America. In twenty years, we've gone from being a very early innovator to just a mere meager portion of 15%. Speaker 1: The worst part is that imported beef is legally labeled product of The USA. Speaker 2: How's that? Speaker 1: If value is added in this country, it's a product of The USA. Speaker 1: If they grind it, slice it, cut it, package it, label it Speaker 0: Rebox it. Speaker 1: Transport it. But the animal make make no mistake. The animal was born, raised, and slaughtered in Uruguay, Australia, New Zealand, or 20 other countries. Speaker 2: The United States imports beef from places like Australia, Canada, much of Latin America. It then runs that beef through USDA inspection, and if it passes, sticks a label on it that reads product of The USA. How dare you?

In Texas, over a million acres of farmland have been destroyed by fires. The Texas Forest Service is clearing land on ranchers' properties, damaging the remaining feed and grass. The reason for this action is unknown. Share your thoughts in the comments and support buying American and local products. Stand up for what's right.

We have lost over 536,543 farms and 165,000,000 acres of farmland.

The largest pork producer in the US is Chinese-owned, leading to negative impacts on small farms. The hog industry has seen a drastic decline in independent producers due to vertical integration. Smithfield Farms, the top pork producer, is Chinese-owned, raising concerns for consumers. While reversing the hog industry's consolidation may be challenging, efforts can be made to prevent similar issues in the cattle industry.

I'm in Sherwood, Connecticut, discussing concerns about Gates and China buying up American farmland. My experience with factory farms in North Carolina highlights this issue. Smithfield Foods, the largest pork producer, partnered with a state senator to pass laws that made it illegal to sue factory farms. They drastically reduced pork prices, driving out 28,000 independent farmers. Those who remained had to sign contracts with Smithfield, losing control over their operations. This model spread to Iowa, giving Smithfield control over 80% of U.S. hog production, which is now owned by China. This shift threatens the vision of American democracy rooted in independent family farms, as industrial agriculture compromises food quality and landscapes.
