The Hand That Feeds the U.S.

All I can say is it's about time. Okay, that's not really all I'm going to say because it is long overdue that a group of pro-farming activists made their voices heard. The public, which has long been bombarded with anti-agriculture propaganda spewed forth from the likes of Michael Pollan, is finally hearing from a group that can tell them the true story of American agriculture. They are known as The Hand That Feeds U.S. and are funded by numerous U.S. commodity groups and supported by American Agri-Women, the National Association of Wheat Growers, and the National Milk Producers, just to name a few. The Hand That Feeds U.S. wants American consumers to know that ninety-eight percent of our nations farms are family owned; not giant factory farms focused only on the bottom line without regard for the environment. They are meeting with the public to introduce them to the "true faces of agriculture" and to prove that the real "bad guys" are not American farmers and ranchers. The bad guys are the ones making money off of book and movie deals that sell consumers on misinformation about American agriculture.
