Tell the FTC: Stop the billion-dollar Koch merger!

Friend, What’s behind high food costs? According to these farmers, corporate consolidation led by Koch Industries has driven fertilizer prices sky-high, and those costs are reverberating throughout the food system. Republican mega-donor Charles Koch is seeking a billion-dollar merger that would give his company even more control over a key element of American farming: fertilizer. The Federal Trade Commission is in an active process of soliciting feedback on whether to allow this merger to go forward and put even more control of the prices Americans pay for food in the hands of one greedy corporation. [Tell the Federal Trade Commission: Oppose the Koch Industries fertilizer merger!]( [WATCH & SIGN NOW]( We went to Iowa and listened to farmers testify at an FTC comment session that is part of the process to block the merger. What the farmers described is an ever-tightening noose around the neck of American farmers, as more and more of them are forced to rely on fewer and fewer suppliers with the power to set obscene prices. The Biden administration has made a point of pushing back against the 40-year campaign of corporate consolidation that has been screwing over working people. Opposing this merger is the logical next step.
