corporate power across our economy. it runs counter to the inclusive economy. iowa, theree in were about a dozen packing houses. farmers have become more productive. .nother only for packing houses fair competition is not only a right and just pre-it is best for growth and allowing people to earn a living wage. i intend to be more aggressive when it comes to pushing back against mergers and monopoly power. said freedomn means freedom from monopoly. they are putting the screws to farmers and communities. americans, and agriculture in particular can

play a critical role in moving us to a clean energy future. the next generation of biofuels and the good things you are doing with wind and other energy. between hillary clinton on your right and bernie sanders on your left you seem to be getting squeezed out. -- i see a opening lane opening. the great thing about iowa is people are not intimidated by big money taking over elections for they want to meet us and they come out and engage in a serious conversation. they are looking for new leadership and an ability to get things done. i have accomplished progressive things. you're going to see us to gain support.
