Farmers, Government & the Power Balance || with Sharon McMahon

Sharon McMahon | America’s Government TeacherWe believe in farmers being taken seriously. They are the backbone of our society after all, right? Then why are more and more farmers becoming silenced and marginalized? To answer this question and spread awareness about this topic, we have invited podcast host, author, and law and government teacher, Sharon McMahon, to shed light on how America is failing its farmers, and what we can do to change that.Sharon has a deep knowledge of the monster farmers are up against when it comes to legislation, farm bills, and the oligopoly of big ag phasing out small family farms. She brings the conversation back to the American government and law makers to enforce checks and balances so the farmers get the respect they deserve, with the health of the consumers in mind.This is an important conversation with tons of information about the way the government and laws are structured that will put the farming industry and the direction it is going into perspective. Something we all need to pay attention to, because after all, we all need to eat!This episode will surely empower you to stand up for your rights as a consumer and for the rights of farmers. Every time you make a purchase, you are voting with your dollar, and if keeping small family farms in business is a cause you believe in, make that dollar count!Make sure you tune in to this crucial discussion!Topics discussed in this episode:Why farm bills shouldn’t be messed withLeaving farmers out of the culture warHow farmers are systematically left out of the political spaceWhen and how the power shifted away from farmersWhy monopolies have never benefited the consumerIs labeled USA raised beef really from the USA?How the average consumer is disconnected from the farms they come fromWhy thanking your farmers can go a long wayConnect with Sharon McMahonWebsite: https://www.sharonmcmahon.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sharonsayssoFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/sharonsayssoTwitter: https://twitter.com/sharon_says_so One Bite is Everything is the podcast formerly known as Talk Farm to Me (2019 to 2024) One Bite is Everything ResourcesWrite a ReviewWebsiteYouTubeConnect with Host, Dana DiPrimaEmailInstagram Learn more about the For Farmers MovementWebsiteBlog Other ResourcesPinterestGlossary of Useful Ag TermsOne Bite is Everything Production CreditsProduction: Dana DiPrima and Sonia DhillonSound Design & Original Music: Russell Chapa www.chapamusic.com
