CORPORATE CARTELS VS. AMERICAN FARMERS: On New Mexico’s southern border, multi-generational ranching and farming families are watching their way of life disappear.
Farmers are being squeezed by skyrocketing fertilizer costs, intense foreign competition, and mounting debt that’s pushing some toward predatory — and often illicit — financing.
A major driver is the flood of cheaper Mexican produce, hay, and beef, enabled by subsidized production and coordinated cartel money-laundering operations pouring across the border.
This is the story of the families still holding the line — and what their potential loss means for America’s food security.
