I just heard that a big meatpacker is taking over John Deere. There's no seat and no steering wheel. I used to think that joke was kind of far-fetched. Now, this is a true story. It happened just this last November.
Some people say that about what's happening to rural America, too.
But last year, R-CALF showed ranchers there's a third option. Last year, you stood up for America's family ranchers. You stood up for a way of life that is vital to the economic and social well-being of our nation. You stood up to some of the biggest corporations in this country, and some of the biggest players in Washington. And I'm here to tell you, you made a difference.
