Yesterday, Meriwether Farms located in Wyoming had a message for President Donald Trump. Meriwether Farms describes themselves as a small, family owned business. They support President Trump. They have been endorsed by Tucker Carlson. Their full time employees get health care. They hire locals, U.S. citizens and say sometimes they use legal and seasonal visa programs.
In a social media post yesterday on X, Meriwether Farms said, "The recent order released by the Department of Homeland Security regarding ICE raids will only benefit the Big Packers and Big Ag, who exploit illegal labor."
It took a lot of guts from this company to speak up on social media. Read the full text which I have included. It has their email address if you want to give them direct feedback or ask questions. Read the post and research the business. Whether you are a supporter of President Trump or not; whether you agree with Meriwether Farms or not; if you set politics aside, this is a small family owned business employing locals, following the law, providing healthcare for their employees. Don't you want such a business in your community?
Text of Meriwether Farms:
Just wanted to reiterate—we only hire US citizens on our farm and in our meat packing plant.
All of our full-time employees have health care. We can do this by being vertically integrated and diversified.
Most small operations like ours rely on family members, hire locals or, on the rare occasion, use legal and seasonal Visa programs.
The recent order released by the Department of Homeland Security regarding ICE raids will only benefit the Big Packers and Big Ag, who exploit illegal labor.
We are very supportive of President Trump and all he is doing for this country. However, if the leadership at the USDA is actually interested in saving Agriculture, perhaps they shouldn’t rely on information coming from the operations that are putting small guys like us out of business.
We are ready and willing to collaborate with the Trump Administration on how to deliver on his Immigration mandate while also protecting the small and independent producer.
