Corporate consolidation in agriculture is “leaving family farmers with fewer choices, thinner margins, and less independence,” Warren wrote in a Medium posting announcing her plan on Wednesday. The Massachusetts senator issued her plan ahead of Democratic candidates’ “Heartland Forum” on rural issues
-- Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren promised to break up big agricultural businesses to end their “stranglehold” over farmers and mount an antitrust challenge to reverse the merger of Bayer AG with seed and biotechnology company Monsanto.
This policy roll-out follows a pattern for Warren as she tries to distinguish herself in a crowded field of Democratic candidates by offering the most robust, progressive policy proposals. Warren, who made her first foray into politics as an advocate for consumer financial protection following the 2008 banking crisis, also proposed an “ultra-millionaire” tax and tighter regulations for large technology companies.
Bayer spokeswoman Christi Dixon said in an email regarding the merger,"We brought together two talented teams and a robust portfolio to offer more choices for farmers."
