Happy Fourth of July. 🇺🇸🌽 This Independence Day, we're grateful for the freedoms we enjoy and for the people who boldly put them into practice every day. Farming has never been for the faint of heart. Every season brings new challenges, new risks and new opportunities. Here's to the freedom to farm, innovate and build a stronger future.

The FTC is listening, but they need to hear from farmers. We raised the alarm. Now it's your turn. If you've experienced anti-competitive practices involving agricultural inputs, speak up. Your voice matters, and there are protections in place for those who come forward. 📧 fertilizercomplaints@ftc.gov

From market pressures and weather challenges to on-the-ground lessons and hard-earned wins, this is where Texas farmers share what's really happening in agriculture today. No scripts. No talking points. Just real conversations from the people living it every day. 🎙️Tune in and subscribe for new episodes:

“The US lost more than 94,000 farms between 2021 and 2025.” “Farmers and ranchers say they’re being gouged.” “Fertilizer prices are rising… nearly 50%.” “While farm incomes are actually falling.” American farmers have “reached a breaking point.” They’re demanding that Trump’s DOJ break up the “corporate cartel” that controls fertilizer markets and has been price gouging them for years. NewsNation’s Markie Martin reports: “This isn’t just typical inflation or even the war in Iran that’s forcing thousands of farms to shut down.” Xavier Walton: “It's a combination of things.” “The DOJ is investigating whether a corporate cartel is controlling fertilizer prices.” “If you speak to just about any farmer, they’ll tell you that the fertilizer problem has been growing for years.” “A group of farmers and ranchers want the FTC chair and federal regulators to crack down on what they call a fertilizer monopoly.” Texas Corn Producers Association Director Dee Vaughan just revealed some shocking statistics: “We’ve seen a 45% increase in Chapter 12 bankruptcy filings among farmers in just the last year.” “And that doesn’t take into account those farmers that just say… ‘I’m just going to quit while I still have a little equity.’” @NewsNation @txvaughan @TexasCorn
