MOUNT HOREB — About 130 Farmers Union members and local residents filled Brix Cider in Mount Horeb for the Feb. 16 viewing of the documentary “Right to Harm.” 

The event was hosted by the South Central and Iowa-Grant chapters of Wisconsin Farmers Union. 

The documentary, which is being shown by several WFU chapters in the coming months, shows the impact of factory farming on communities throughout the United States.

At the 2020 WFU State Convention in Rothschild, members of the grassroots family farm organization set Oversight of Large Livestock Facilities and Concentration in the Agriculture Industry as special orders of business.

“Right to Harm” is an exploration that questions whether citizens are entitled to clean air and water, while examining the political issues that stand in the way of nationwide reform. Additional viewings will be posted at www.wisconsinfarmersunion.com/events. 

The South Central and Iowa-Grant chapters are part of Wisconsin Farmers Union, a member-driven organization committed to enhancing the quality of life for family farmers, rural communities and all people through educational opportunities, cooperative endeavors, and civic engagement.
