Ignore pretty much anything farming related from More Perfect Union - they tend to provide farm lobby propaganda without actually fact checking it. I've become much more sceptical of their other coverage based on how bad that segment of it seems to be.

    Do you have insight on farming issues to provide an example? Whenever we near election dates in the US we know farm lobbies always push for bailouts that usually end up benefiting corporations instead of farmers. I’m sure there are issues that exist but it’s hard to sort through what’s legit and what’s a money grab. I thought MPU was doing a good job but 🤷🏻‍♀️

    The farming corporations are mostly family farms. The average small farmer is a millionaire with a six figure income. I recommend looking at the youtube channels "Farm to Taber" and "Farming While Beige". I haven't found where the former talked about the More Perfect Union videos yet, but the latter posted the following:
