“The money and political power of Wall Street has stolen America’s food system, bankrupted our farmers and ranchers, mined our soils, polluted our environment, wasted our precious water, and left us with expensive industrially produced food that makes us sick.” – Occupy Wall Street Food Day, December 2011

"An eye opening and heart touching portrait of a culture and industry that we are in great danger of losing. This book will help readers understand the urgency of preserving the Western ranchlands inhabited by families and rural communities that provide nourishing food for our nation, preserve a healthy natural environment and entrust that great American values will endure."

It's the national security issue that no one is talking about.E. Coli Confessions Part I

Opinion
Editor's Note: This is the first part in a series written by John Munsell of Miles City, MT, who explains how the small meat plant his family owned for 59 years ran afoul of USDA's meat inspection program. The events he writes about began a decade ago, but remain relevant today.
They say that confession is good for the soul. I've been involved in a series of ugly events since my plant in 2002 recalled 270 pounds of ground beef contaminated with E.coli O157:H7 and now want to admit the embarrassing truth for public review.

Good job, Mike and all. I had hoped to be there myself but couldn’t get away this morning in time. Thanks for standing up for us.

Came in toward the end. Hope you have a link so I can hear it all and share with others. Particularly interested in the Wild Lands Project and Agenda 21 to take the land and think many groups outside of rural communities need to hear that woman talk about it so they understand what’s up and not think this is about conservation or environmental protection but a new form of land seizure.
Thanks for all you are doing. You’re giving people a direction – whether cattlemen or farmers or other kinds of food producers. Coordination sounds like a way to go to stop this.
Great press conference. Will there be a way to get a copy of the broadcast?
Will there be a written summary of the press conference and information on coordination? Appreciate R-Calf all the more that it opposed Agenda 21 long ago. What happened to Mike Callicrate has jogged some necessary awareness in people who had reflexively trusted those federal agencies.
I can’t express how appreciative I am for everything you are doing. The government needs to take a step back and look at everything that the small businesses and farmer ranchers do for there communities and this country. Once again Thank You for fighting back for everyone.
Mike,
Shop at Ranch Foods Direct in Colo Spgs all the time. This is link to website that is always the first to expose Big, bloated govt that is progressively, rapidly taking aim at the small farmer, rancher. I have used this site for years and it has always been trustworthy on a consistant basis. The government has gone beyond the pale in Michigan with this outrage.
