The brothers got five weeks notice that the milk pickups would stop in April. They had to sell 15 of their herd of 60 at pennies on the dollar to cover costs. The last milk pickup netted them six dollars profitpic.twitter.com/L4dChxFHwy
Their mom is 97 and they’ve had to borrow against the farm to pay her nursing home. I wish stories like these were rare in Iowa, but they’re not. Consolidation and monopoly are destroying not just livelihoods but livespic.twitter.com/irpS1mL5MT
One reason I’m so adamant about supporting J.D.’s campaign is he’s the only Federal candidate in Iowa I see talking about antitrust. I hope you will continue to support him through the Great Slatehttps://secure.actblue.com/donate/great_slate …

At an event in Kanawha, Iowa, l'affaire Biden sign deepens. One couple had to spend $49 to get one, and it was shipped from overseas. Diamond Joe's failure to provide supporters in sign-obsessed western Iowa with adequate political lawn ammunition is perplexing and sadpic.twitter.com/OVt6WR2u8H
The final event of the night is an evening rally in Britt. Local state house candidate (and State Slate member!) Deb Jensen comes out to campaign with J.D. in front of a crowd of twenty or so. Britt is town #16 for the day.pic.twitter.com/H09juLZvZ0
