This week on Unscripted, Tyne Morgan and Clinton Griffiths dive deep into the economic and emotional realities shaping rural America. From the strain of low commodity prices and soaring input costs to the growing frustration with government policies, farmers are facing pressures that go far beyond the balance sheet. Joining the hosts is Joe Maxwell, co-founder of Farm Action, who sheds light on how monopolies in markets like cattle and fertilizer are reshaping agriculture — and not for the better. Maxwell makes a strong case for renewed antitrust enforcement, meaningful policy reform, and actionable solutions like mandatory country-of-origin labeling (mCOOL). Tune in as the conversation peels back the layers on the policies, people, and power structures influencing the future of farming — all unscripted.
