The Farmer-Labor podcast explores power in the farm economy: how farmers build it, how workers build it, and why they need to continue to work together. The farm-labor alliance in the United States dates back to the 1870s, but its flaws help explain why unions and farmers are both clawing back in the 21st century. In this series, we'll make the case for farmers to embrace solidarity across the economy, drawing on history and leading voices from Farmers Union, Wisconsin, and beyond.
