Kansas farm coalition outlines independence initiative
A bipartisan group of 18 rural legislators in Topeka outlined the Kansas Farmer's Independence Initiative, seeking funding for antitrust investigations, a Contract Growers Bill of Rights, home rule restoration, state university crop centers, loans for farmers, and tax incentives for independent plants. They urge an 18-month federal moratorium on agribusiness mergers and meat labeling reforms, citing Cargill Continental Grain and Murphy Family Farms Smithfield as key concerns. Kansas joined 21 states in a letter to the DOJ about the Smithfield Murphy merger, while not objecting to Cargill Continental.
