In Western Minnesota, a farm isn't just a business; it's a legacy. But right now, the system feels like it’s rooting for the monopolies, not the producers.

• The Right to Repair: If you bought the tractor, you should be able to fix the tractor. Period. We need to end the "software locks" that force you to wait for a corporate technician while the weather window is closing.

• Taking on the Meat Monopolies: We’ve got to enforce the antitrust laws already on the books. Let’s support local lockers and small-scale processors so our farmers aren't getting squeezed by the "Big 4" meatpackers.

• Labeling Integrity: If it says "American Beef," it should be born and raised right here—not just packaged here after a boat ride.
