Two corporations now control most of the seeds planted across the United States, and the consequences are devastating for farmers, families, and anyone who buys food.

In this investigation, we take you inside Arkansas, where the collapse of independent seed companies has pushed family farms to the brink. Once home to locally owned seed businesses built over generations, the state is now dominated by a handful of global corporations that control seed genetics, patents, chemicals, and even the technology farmers rely on to plant and harvest their crops.

You’ll hear how consolidation wiped out competition, why seed prices have tripled in less than two decades, and how farmers are legally blocked from saving seed the way humans have done for thousands of years. We break down Senate testimony, court cases, and real stories from farmers who are trapped in a system where the seed, the chemical, and the software all come from the same companies.

This is not just a farming story. It is a food story. When corporations control the seed, they control who can farm, how much it costs to grow food, and ultimately what ends up on your table. As farms fail and costs rise, the ripple effects reach every grocery store in America.

Watch to the end to understand how this system works, why innovation has stalled, and what happens when competition disappears from the very first link in the food chain.
