As Koch Industries' reach expands, farmers feel the squeeze of potential price hikes. David Weaver, another farmer affected by these changes, expresses outrage at the prospect of Koch absorbing a vital competitor. Concerns extend beyond just financial implications; they touch upon the very viability of farming as a way of life in Iowa and across the Midwest. According to Harold, the farmers’ lifeblood depends on maintaining competitive markets that reflect the values of hard work and sustainability.
