Sharon McMahon | America’s Government Teacher

We 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 with
• Leaving farmers out of the culture war
• How farmers are systematically left out of the political space
• When and how the power shifted away from farmers
• Why monopolies have never benefited the consumer
• Is labeled USA raised beef really from the USA?
• How the average consumer is disconnected from the farms they come from
• Why thanking your farmers can go a long way
