American Farmers Under Siege: Government Overreach and Corporate Data Exploitation

In this eye-opening episode of Trent on the Loos, host Trent Loos welcomes systems engineer and agricultural innovator Kevin Kenney to expose the growing threats to American farmers' independence. Together, they deliver a powerful message about how farmers across the nation are losing control of their own food production systems—putting the future of agriculture and food security at risk.
Trent and Kevin pull back the curtain on the dangerous overreach of government regulations and the corporate grip tightening around farmers. They explain how heavy-handed government policies and red tape are strangling the very people who grow America’s food. Farmers are being forced to comply with burdensome rules that limit their freedom to operate their own farms as they see fit. These regulations, pushed by unelected bureaucrats, are driving up costs, reducing productivity, and creating roadblocks that threaten family farms.
The conversation heats up as Trent and Kevin uncover an even more alarming issue: the sale of farmers’ private data to major corporations. They reveal how large ag-tech companies and data firms are collecting and selling farmers' information without proper oversight. This data includes everything from crop yields to soil conditions and operational practices. Once in the hands of powerful corporations, this sensitive data is often used to control pricing, limit market access, and tighten the corporate monopoly over America’s food supply.
Trent and Kevin emphasize that these combined threats—government overreach and corporate data exploitation—are eroding farmers' autonomy and undermining food sovereignty in the United States. They warn that if this dangerous trend continues, farmers will become little more than contract workers for massive agricultural giants, stripped of their independence and forced to produce food under corporate rule.
The episode calls on farmers and consumers alike to wake up and take action. Supporting local farmers, resisting unjust regulations, and demanding data privacy protections are key steps to reclaiming control over America’s food system. Trent and Kevin’s bold conversation serves as a rallying cry for freedom-loving Americans to stand with farmers and defend the future of independent agriculture.
f their conversation is the state budget, which Senator Howard warns is ballooning with unnecessary spending. She emphasizes the need for fiscal responsibility and protecting taxpayer dollars, urging citizens to stay vigilant and hold their representatives accountable. Trent echoes her concerns, highlighting how overspending at the state level mirrors the federal government’s reckless financial habits.
Education reform is another hot-button issue discussed in the episode. Senator Howard exposes troubling efforts to inject woke ideologies into South Dakota schools. She stresses the importance of keeping education local, empowering parents, and safeguarding children from radical agendas.
Trent and Senator Howard also address threats to property rights and the agriculture industry. As South Dakota’s farmers and ranchers face increasing government regulations, Senator Howard vows to defend the backbone of the state’s economy—rural communities and agriculture.
This eye-opening episode serves as a wake-up call for South Dakota citizens. Trent and Senator Howard urge listeners to stay informed, get involved, and push back against policies that erode freedom. For anyone concerned about taxes, education, property rights, or government overreach, this episode is a must-listen. Stay tuned to Trent on the Loos for more hard-hitting coverage on the issues that matter to rural America.
