Iowa Democrats propose five measures to support small farmers, including right-to-repair and transparency reforms.
Iowa Democratic lawmakers have introduced a five-part plan to address declining farm incomes, rising costs, and restrictive equipment repair policies.
The proposal includes expanding farmers’ right to repair machinery, requiring public disclosure of farmland ownership to increase transparency, reinstating country of origin labeling for meat, banning corporate vertical integration in agriculture, and creating a state farm bill focused on fair markets and long-term resilience.
Lawmakers say these measures are essential to protect independent farmers amid growing concerns over foreign investment, corporate dominance, and federal policies favoring large agribusinesses.
