The Wisconsin Farmers Union has launched a resource for those seeking to learn how farming and labor intersect. The Farmer-Labor Podcast is an educational, documentary-style series that explores power in the farm economy: how farmers build it, how workers build it, and why they need to continue to work together.
This eight-part series, hosted by Charlie Mitchell, makes the case for farmers to embrace solidarity across the economy, drawing on history and voices from Farmers Union, Wisconsin, and beyond.
"If you've ever wondered what might happen if working people in the food system pulled together this podcast is for you," says WFU Director Julie Keown-Bomar. "Capturing the voices of farmers and laborers, Wisconsin Farmers Union explores how those who till the soil, process the food, and fill your grocery carts could come to-gether in solidarity to influence a more just economic and political system."
Episodes range from 20-40 minutes in length. The podcasts are free and available on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or at www.wisconsinfarmersunion.com/podcast
