    I feel very sorry for the farmers shown in this video and for all farmers going thru the same struggles. I'm a 20 year already American who is an emigrant and lives a very good life and came with little to nothing to this country. I need to share a short story... My landscaper is an emigrant from Vietnam, who came to this country with literally nothing... Today I can afford a landscaper, own a home in 98008, travel the world in style. My landscaper owns a 1m+ home close to the Seattle/Tacoma airport, worth 1m+ and travels every year for a month to his home country to visit family and friends. While I was (retired recently before 60) in high tech, my landscaper was not and his entire business investment is a very solid, but used truck, a few mowers, blowers and trimmers and a huge desire to live the American dream. In this video people speak about "losing their home", but as far as I can tell those homes are worth little to nothing and not worth keeping. I would never ever put my women thru tears as seen in this video... My advice is: Leave this shitty life behind and start over in a place where your skills are in demand and be willing to add to your current skills; this is what people of this planet do, when they don't brake even.
    I wish all of them only the best!

    Farmers need to unite under one umbrella like a Co-Op and demand to be payed in shares/cash instead of cash alone.That way they will have voteing rights in the company. They will own the company instead of the company owning them.Every farmer should own shares, and when votes are casted, it will be proportional to the shares owned.Or they can simply band together and create a new company under a CO-OP where the farmers are the owners, to compete with tyson, perdue etc.The farmers are the labour they will win.

      I agree with this after watching these deplorable testimonials from good folks being pounded by these companies who obviously don't care about the farmer. So, I propose they do it all. If they cant pay more than 5cents a pound they maybe they need to handle it all. Farmers need to unit and stand down collectively. What's Tysons gonna possibly do when 1200+ farmers don't accept any more chicks by us? I'll tell you. They'll buckle and it's time for unions to move in and take these contracts more beneficial for all parties. Americans need to get some sense and stop trying to get rich easy and stop ignorantly signing these bullvorn contracts with greedy corporations. If they started me at 21k a batch and dropped it to 12k I wouldn't have accepted anymore chicks until they straightened there act up. Sounds like Tysons needs to be run out of town and a new fresh business come up in the ranks and give back to the farmers. It's time to rise up before corporations take our lands over! The lands that belong to the people.

    Nothing is wrong with making a living until these companies want more. Good business or bad. The investment isn't worth the risk. You can earn a good living by avoiding them.

    I’m sorry but this is why city people think country folks are dumb. Going to mortgage your entire life waaaaaay beyond your ability to pay for it, for a shady contract written to benefit the corporation and give you absolutely no leverage or say in what you do. Then you’re going to be upset when it doesn’t go your way. 🤔🙄
    The farmer needs to be the producer and the retailer. Cut out the middleman altogether and take back control of your lives, your future, and the safety of our food systems! Unfortunately it’s too late for the folks in this video unless they want to go through bankruptcy and have to completely start over.

      Did you not watch the documentary, or somehow entirely miss that the contracts are intentionally misleading? How can this be an individual failure when such a high percentage of actual (working) farmers are in debt... This is a systematic and intentional abuse of working people, people who believe in the same things you seem to believe in -- rugged individualism and hard work. It's an abuse by those in positions of power, not a moral or intellectual failing.

      ruclips.net/video/yS5GJYlHkp4/видео.html I think your recommendation is to be like this farm, which is also struggling because the consumer costs are artificially low. That clip shows it's not the individual working farmer's fault that our food system is fragile and only profitable to corporations. We need to shift focus to fixing those systems that make it impossible to survive as an independent -- or even contract -- farmer. It's not unreasonable to think that contracts should benefit both parties, promoting efficiency and cooperation.

      You're both right in a way. The country dude trusts to easily city people often anticipate a con from jump especially from a large company. Common sense ain't always common
