Fairness for Small-Scale Farmers and Ranchers Act

This bill aims to increase competition in the agricultural sector by limiting corporate consolidation. It imposes a moratorium on mergers by large agribusinesses with over $222 million in annual sales, requires retroactive review of mergers since 2006, and allows unwinding of harmful mergers that negatively impacted farmers, workers, or consumers. The bill reinstates mandatory country of origin labeling for beef, pork, and dairy products and strengthens protections against unfair practices by packers and processors under the Packers and Stockyards Act. Additionally, it increases funding for beginning, retiring, and socially disadvantaged farmers and creates new infrastructure grants for small processing facilities. These provisions are designed to help small-scale farmers compete more effectively while increasing transparency for consumers.
