Farmers Profest Iowa's AG Summit. (Corporate Agribusinesses DO NOT speak for family farmers.)

activists and farmers gathered at the offices of the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (Iowa CCI) told ThinkProgress that Rastetter’s “corporate ag” summit will manipulate the political process and spread messages and policies that will hurt family farmers and the agricultural industry.

Farmers and activists are concerned about factory farm production, the support for trade deals like NAFTA and the pressure to adopt genetic engineering and chemical technologies to increase production while polluting the environment.
“Corporate agribusiness is putting profits before people, profits before soil health, profits before sound crop production, profits before clean water and profits before the lives of rural people,” said Barb Kalbach, a fourth generation family farmer from Adair County, Iowa.
Rastetter is a multimillionaire and the CEO of the agribusiness corporation Summit Group. In recent years, his political activism has grown and he has used his money earned through pork, ethanol and farm real estate businesses to become the state’s highest Republican donor, funding conservatives across the country.
