“Unfortunately, we have not seen the savings that we were promised,” said Farm Action’s Sarah Carden.
“Another multibillion-dollar bailout is further evidence of an agricultural economy in crisis,” Farm Action stated. “Instead of addressing the policies and corporate power driving up costs and squeezing farm incomes, the administration continues to rely on taxpayer dollars to keep farmers afloat.”
Farm Action’s Sarah Carden said that the data raises “serious questions” about whether the administration’s policy has already backfired.
“These executives were accused of taking millions of dollars out of the pockets of the American public over a period of years, and the result was just a slap on the wrist,” said Farm Action President Angela Huffman.
“If the DOJ believes its own allegations, it should pursue consequences commensurate with them. Price fixing cannot become just another cost of doing business,” writes Farm Action President Angela Huffman.
“There’s been a little bit of give and play between the big retail and big packers on who gets the most cut, but what is clear is that consumers and farmers continue to lose in that equation,” said Farm Action’s Sarah Carden.
“Rural America is not obligated to accept every project wrapped in the language of economic development. We deserve the time and information to decide for ourselves,” writes Farm Action President Angela Huffman.

“Just four companies now supply more than half of the fresh-cut salad in the country, and that’s why one problem like the cyclospora outbreak can quickly spread across so many states and impact so many people,” said Angela Huffman, president of Farm Action.
