Exposing Failures in US Food Policy: From Export Subsidies to Farm Collapse

Discover why the US agricultural system is collapsing family farms, resulting in massive food imports, and learn the specific policy shifts needed to secure national food security and consumer health.

Short Summary

  • Farmers are disappearing at a rate of 60 per day while corporate agribusiness benefits from export-focused subsidies.
  • The current system prioritizes subsidized commodity grains for feed and export over growing healthy domestic food, endangering national security.
  • Trade wars and concentrated markets create massive uncertainty, requiring bailouts that disproportionately benefit large corporations, creating a cycle of dependency.
  • The conversation details why generalized trade war tactics will fail to restore farming viability and outlines the necessity of shifting investment toward local, healthy food production. Joe Maxwell, former Missouri Lieutenant Governor, breaks down the economic incentives driving farmers away from feed crops and toward national food resilience.

Description

President Trump says America’s farmers are “going to be making a fortune,” yet family farms are disappearing while corporate agribusiness grows richer than ever. Former Missouri Lieutenant Governor and fourth-generation farmer Joe Maxwell exposes how Washington, Wall Street, and Big Ag rigged America’s food system—and what it will take to reclaim our food, our farms, and our freedom.

I couldn’t believe it when I learned that farmers can’t replant the seeds from their own crops. They are forced to buy new ones every year from gigantic corporations.

Once family farmers sell up and big corporations move in you have lost control over food security.
