Action, a national coalition of family farmers and advocates building the "political muscle" to fight for farmers and rural communities. Gunthorp, an Indiana Farmers Union board member, is scheduled to speak at the rally on behalf of Indiana Farmers Union.
Sherri Dugger, executive director of Indiana Farmers Union and program director for American Grassfed Association (AGA), will be speaking on behalf of AGA. Randy Dugger, vice president of Indiana Farmers Union, will be available to answer questions
