Sowing Possibility | 7 | Jeanie Alderson on the "Big Four" Meatpacking Monopoly

from Reframing Rural · host Tree Ring Records, LLC

Jeanie Alderson comes from a storied legacy of ranchers in Southeast Montana. In the 1970s, her parents were among the rural organizers to form Northern Plains Resource Council. Today, Jeanie and her husband Terry are continuing their work standing up for family farms and ranches by fighting against the "Big Four" meatpacking monopoly that's extinguishing competition and dictating prices, forcing some ranches to go out of business.
