Samuel Fisher, an Amish farmer and owner of Golden Valley Farms, had his farm raided by the government of Virginia. His products, which feed around 500 customers and their families, were seized and thrown away. Samuel had been selling meat that was processed on his farm, as customers preferred it over USDA-inspected meat. The government targeted him, even though there were no reports of customers getting sick. Samuel believes in providing real, chemical-free food to his customers and is passionate about the health benefits it offers. Despite the government's actions, Samuel is determined to continue selling his meat with the support of his loyal customers.

Amos Miller, an Amish farmer in Pennsylvania, had his farm shut down by the federal government. He runs a private members-only food club where around 4,000 customers buy his meat, eggs, and dairy products. However, regulations prevent him from serving the general public. A federal judge ordered Miller to stop all meat sales, and US Marshals searched his property to ensure compliance. Miller believes he is being persecuted for practicing his religious beliefs and growing food according to his faith.

This past weekend, I met with farm workers affected by mass deportations. Many women shared heartbreaking stories of their husbands being taken during traffic stops and deported without understanding the forms they signed, leaving families shattered. I spoke to two 11-year-old boys, one who had spoken to his father in Mexico and was heartbroken, and another who hadn’t yet communicated with his dad and was in tears. These workers, who have toiled for decades, often without any criminal records, are now living in fear. This situation not only devastates families but also impacts farmers and food prices. Mass deportations mean real suffering—families are torn apart, and children are left without their parents. It’s a tragic reality.

This story is about a fight over Andy Henry's family farm in New Jersey, which has been in his family since before the Civil War. The town wants half of the 21-acre property for affordable housing to meet state requirements, offering to buy it or seize it via eminent domain. Andy started a campaign to save the farm, which divided the town and became a MAGA rallying cry. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins called it a Biden-style government takeover. Matt Scott, part of the town committee, says strict state requirements limited the options, and they didn't want to use eminent domain on a farm. He feels empathy for the Henry brothers but believes his responsibility is toward the greater good. The plan is now with a state judge, and the town would have to pay market value if they take the land. Andy believes he will win the fight, feeling his ancestors' presence on the land.

In this video, the speaker discusses the case of an Amish farmer, Samuel Fisher, who was targeted by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for selling meat that was not processed by a USDA inspected facility. Fisher processed his farm-raised meat on-site and sold it directly to his customers. The state placed administrative detention tags on all of Fisher's freezers, preventing him from accessing or selling the meat. Fisher and his family defied the order and continued to feed themselves and sell the meat. As a result, the state seized all of Fisher's meat and disposed of it. The speaker questions the authority of the US Department of Agriculture and explores the history behind its formation.

Where have the EPA, FDA, and political leaders been? How did you miss the peril of forever chemicals destroying our land, farms, water, and public health? This has broken our hearts, and I don't know if we'll ever recover. Our farms are contaminated with chemicals linked to liver damage, fertility issues, thyroid problems, and cancer. The land is poisoned, the water contaminated, and people are affected. These forever chemicals are nearly impossible to destroy, tainting crops and milk, pushing farmers to ruin. Suicide rates are high among farmers facing bankruptcy after generations of family farming. This is the story of farmland destroyed beneath them due to greed and money. We'll show you where it began and how far back the cover-up goes. They chose to hide it. With 97% of Americans impacted, everyone will deal with the fallout. I'm glad this is being investigated.

I voted for Donald Trump, and now our farm is at risk. We're in danger of losing it because the NRCS isn't upholding their contract with us regarding the EQIP program. This program, which cost-shares improvements like fencing and wells, was funded by the Inflation Reduction Act. However, executive orders have frozen the funding, preventing payments for completed work and future projects. This isn't just affecting me; other farmers are in the same situation. Before making business decisions, I verified the funding was secured per contract, not contingent. Now, they're breaking the contract due to the funding freeze.

A USDA whistleblower revealed that the Biden administration implemented a DEI initiative offering loan forgiveness to socially disadvantaged farmers, defined as American Indian, Alaskan native, Asian, Black, African American, native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, or Latino. According to the whistleblower, this plan involved $800 million in taxpayer money and was intentionally kept quiet. White farmers, like James Dunlap, were excluded, leading to a lawsuit that successfully halted the program. A judge ruled the program unconstitutional and irreparably harmful. The Biden administration then passed the Inflation Reduction Act to aid struggling farmers, but the whistleblower alleges that information about this assistance was selectively shared only with minority farmers, with USDA workers instructed to advise them to halt loan payments. The whistleblower accuses the USDA of unethical and discriminatory practices, stating that those responsible remain in charge. The USDA did not respond to specific questions but stated they are rescinding DEI programs and prioritizing unity, equality, meritocracy, and color-blind policies. They are also reviewing the Inflation Reduction Act funding to ensure equitable distribution to all farmers.

I'm in Sherwood, Connecticut, discussing why entities like Gates and China are buying up American farmland. My experience with factory farms highlights this issue. For 20 years, I sued large producers like Smithfield Foods, which built a massive slaughterhouse in North Carolina. Partnering with a state senator, they passed laws making it illegal to sue factory farms. This led to the demise of 28,000 independent hog farmers, replaced by a few large factories controlled by Smithfield. They dictate farming practices, leaving farmers with no control. As a result, Smithfield now controls 80% of hog production in North Carolina and sold itself to China, threatening the vision of American democracy rooted in independent family farms. This industrial agriculture not only compromises food quality but also undermines our landscapes and democracy.

Breaking from Elizabeth Kucinich, the farm bill is worse than you thought. States’ rights are under siege, federal preemption is at issue, corporate liability shields are a focal point, and there are fiscal risks embedded in the 2026 farm bill. CHD has issued an action alert specifically about the liability shield. The action will be linked in the show notes. If you have not completed it, please complete it ASAP and promote it because Congress is going to be doing the markup of the farm bill starting today, I believe, at 5 PM Eastern Time. Markups usually last three days, and there is a lot to go through. This action focuses specifically on getting rid of the liability shield. But if you read Elizabeth Kucinich’s Substack, you’ll see there’s so much more that is horrible about this bill. There is so much that is happening. I even had some people from the EMR community reach out to me speaking specifically about problems around different smart technologies that were in the farm bill too. It’s a monster. So I’m going to be meeting with my team today, to see if we might be able to get out another action alert about this tomorrow, but at least complete the liability shield side of this. We need to see that go. The other aspects of it, read Elizabeth’s amazing Substack to understand all the issues and call your congressperson and tell them the farm bill is a beast. It’s a monster. We need to get this under control. Hi.

Samuel Fisher, an Amish farmer and owner of Golden Valley Farms, shares his story of how the government of Virginia raided his farm, seized his products, and shut down his meat sales. Despite having a customer base that preferred meat processed on the farm rather than USDA inspected, the state insisted that he couldn't sell it. The nearest facility for processing was two hours away, making it costly and difficult to meet customer demand. When the pandemic hit and stores were running out of food, Samuel decided to process the meat himself. The state intervened, obtained a search warrant, and confiscated all the meat, even preventing Samuel from feeding his own family. Samuel believes the state crossed a line by denying him the ability to feed his family, prompting him to continue selling the meat.

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.

I'm at Sherwood Island in Connecticut, discussing the issue of farmland ownership by Gates and China. My experience in factory farming, particularly with Smithfield Foods in North Carolina, illustrates this problem. Smithfield built a massive slaughterhouse and partnered with Wendell Murphy, who passed laws making it illegal to sue factory farms. This led to the closure of 28,000 independent hog farmers, replaced by 2,100 factory farms controlled by Smithfield. Farmers who contracted with Smithfield lost control over their operations, becoming dependent on the company. As a result, Smithfield now controls 80% of hog production in North Carolina and expanded this model nationwide before selling to China. This shift undermines the vision of independent family farms and poses a significant threat to American democracy and our agricultural landscape.

This past weekend, I met with farm workers affected by mass deportations. Many women shared heartbreaking stories of their husbands being taken during traffic stops and deported without understanding what they signed. I spoke to two 11-year-old boys, one who had spoken to his father in Mexico and was heartbroken, and another who hadn’t been able to reach his dad and was in tears. These families, who have worked tirelessly in the fields for years, often without any criminal records, are now torn apart. This situation not only devastates families but also impacts farmers and food prices. Mass deportations mean real suffering—children without parents and wives without husbands. It’s a tragic reality.

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.

Samuel Fisher, an Amish farmer and owner of Golden Valley Farms, shares his story of how the government of Virginia raided his farm, seized his products, and shut down his meat sales. Despite having a customer base of around 500 people, Samuel is unable to sell or even give away his meat. The state insists that he must send his animals to a USDA facility for inspection, which is costly and inconvenient. Due to the pandemic and increased demand for meat, Samuel decided to process the meat himself. However, the state intervened and confiscated all his meat, leaving him unable to feed his family. Samuel feels that the government has crossed a line by preventing him from providing for his own family.

"Did you know the last time they went to court, the CFIA get to submit 139 pages of documented evidence while the farm was allowed zero? Did you know that? That's our justice system. Interesting." "So if you're if you're enforcing the justice system that isn't just, does that make that just?" "I don't know. Maybe. Well, you could say no. I'm just gonna listen to my boss because he's got where I got. I got a lot of respect for him." "He's gone through the mill. He made it through. Most people don't. So he's cream of the crop. He's kinda like what you aspire to." "Intention. Comes down to why why you want what you want. You're a mercury healthy bird. Stop killing sick chicken. You're a mercury healthy." "My name is Jim Kerr. I represent the good people of this country who say"

The transcript presents a claim that seed companies pressure farmers to buy their seeds, contributing to higher food costs. It asserts that farmers can be sued if they plant their own seeds, and that farmers do not own the genetics of their crops unless they use heirloom seeds. To plant these seeds, farmers must pay a fee, and seed companies can come onto a farmer’s property to inspect plants; if any part contains the company’s genetics, the farmer can be sued. The speaker emphasizes that farmers do not own the hard work of growing the plant because of these seed-ownership practices. Seed companies are described as reminding farmers of their purchasing history by saying, “we know you bought our seed last year,” and that if farmers do not buy seeds again, the companies will audit them. The speaker then shares a personal example: an order of three totes, sufficient to plant 300 acres of soybeans and to have the right to plant them, cost over $30,000.

A USDA whistleblower revealed that the Biden administration allegedly implemented a DEI secret involving $800 million in taxpayer money earmarked for race-based loan forgiveness for farmers. According to the American Rescue Plan Act, farmers identified as American Indian, Alaskan Native, Asian, Black/African American, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, or Hispanic/Latino were eligible for loan forgiveness of up to 120% of their debt. White farmers, like James Dunlap, who did not qualify, successfully sued the administration, halting the program. A judge ruled the program unconstitutional and cited irreparable harm. Subsequently, the Biden administration passed the Inflation Reduction Act, intended to aid struggling farmers. However, the whistleblower claims that information about this act was exclusively disseminated to minority farmers via email, with USDA workers allegedly advising them to halt loan payments due to impending forgiveness. The whistleblower alleges white farmers were excluded and calls the actions discriminatory and unethical.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss the war in agriculture, focusing on what they allege is horrendous treatment by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) of Universal Ostrich Farms. They recount a live farm feed from the previous night in which Katie, a friend of Speaker 0, appears distraught as she pleads with the CFIA to stop killing her birds. They claim that hundreds of bullets were fired at the birds, according to eyewitnesses, and estimate that perhaps 100 birds remain. They assert that the CFIA has been culling the herd already and had foreknowledge of a Supreme Court ruling, implying the CFIA acted to eliminate birds without accountability. The speakers state that the RCMP stood by and did nothing, including when the farm formally filed charges. They describe alleged collusion among CFIA, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the government, accusing them of harassment, lassoing, chasing, and injecting the birds for five weeks. The speakers argue that the birds must be tested to prove the CFIA acted for political reasons rather than for health, science, public protection, wildlife protection, or disease prevention. They echo Joe Warmington of the Toronto Sun in insisting on testing the birds and determining how many remain to prevent a cover-up. They emphasize that the cover-up cannot start now and reject any expectation that it will. They describe Katie as distraught, weeping, and appealing for mercy while watching her ostriches be shot throughout the night, characterizing Canada’s CFIA as analogous to the NKVD, Stalin’s secret police, in contrast to other historical comparisons used in the discussion. The discussion includes live audio elements and commentary about sound from the kill area, with uncertainty about why shots sound distant or off to the left. They reference a prior night’s events and plan to provide more footage and details about the shootings. They state their position that the CFIA’s actions are political and not health-related, and they insist on continued testing and transparency regarding the number of birds remaining. The conversation frames the events as part of a broader “war on agriculture,” asserting that the cover-up and lack of accountability are central concerns. Katie’s interview from the prior day is described as distressing, with the host noting the emotional toll of the situation on her.

A dairy farmer in Southern Ontario milks about 260 pounds of milk and more during winter due to consistent feed. However, they are over their quota, which is regulated by the government and the DFO. The farmer has had to dump 30,000 liters of milk, which is painful. Canadian milk costs $7 a liter, but dairy farmers have no say anymore and are forced to dump milk. The farmer is going public to show the pain that growers experience, having grown up on a dairy farm and worked hard.

A Dutch farmer named Mark Roth is currently in jail for blocking a highway in 02/2020. He was convicted for endangering people by stopping traffic, though no one was hurt. The speaker believes this is a political trial and an example of lawfare against farmers. Roth is in jail because he didn't comply with the community service he was sentenced to. The speaker shares a post address to write Mark letters of support while he's in jail. According to the speaker, things are not improving for Dutch farmers, despite a new right-wing government. Farmers feel the "green madness" is still ruling the country. Meat prices are skyrocketing, and the Green Deal in Europe remains in place. The speaker believes that unless the EU is abolished and bureaucrats like Ursula von der Leyen are removed, nothing will change. The speaker will provide updates and plans to share Mark's perspective once he is released.

"In this episode, I sit down with farmer Joel Salatin. He and his family owned Polyphase Farms, and he's the author of 17 books including Everything I Want to Do is Illegal, War Stories from the Local Food Front." "You notice there's no flies, there's no smell. These are unvaccinated, unmedicated, no pharmaceuticals, none of that." "You can't have a porta potty, so now you're at $50,000 to put in a certified septic system in order to have a kitchen that passes compliance." "Salatin believes that what America desperately needs is a food emancipation proclamation." "Which basically says, you and I can engage in a food transaction without the government's permission." "In my lifetime, I have watched this erosion of farmer access to retail dollars." "The question is, is it all gonna go to Vanguard, BlackRock, Bill Gates, the Chinese?"

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.
