Meet Shane Strecker
Shane is a fourth-generation sugarbeet farmer in Montana. The Streckers have multiple generations working on the farm and have farmed their current land since 1974.
We can’t survive in this world of sugar without a safety net. We have to compete against high subsidies in other countries and we are actually competing against foreign governments is what it amounts to. We want this legacy to continue on.”
We are asking Congress, especially with the Farm bill, to help us stay in business and keep our communities going, because we are the backbone of this country.”
