The USDA is seeking public comments on two proposed rules designed to reform the poultry industry’s abusive “contract growing” model. This system has long stacked the deck against farmers, trapping them in one-sided, exploitative contracts that require huge financial investments.
Register today to learn how to tell USDA to pass these rules!
Unfortunately, many farmers feel threatened to speak up, but together, we can advocate for system transformation and a just food future!
Join SRAP’s Food & Farm Network with special guest Aaron Johnson of RAFI-USA for a workshop on Monday, August 5 at 4:00 p.m. ET. The event will be hosted by Craig Watts, a former contract poultry producer who serves as director of SRAP’s Contract Grower Transition Program.
Participants will learn the implications of these rules for farmers and walk through the process of submitting public comments to influence change. Your input could tip the scales towards a fairer, more transparent contract growing system.
