Cartoonist Fired From Farm News for Pro-Farmer Cartoon

Such a sad story of a veteran cartoonist / farmer who published a cartoon that had 2 farmers chatting: “I wish there was more profit in farming,” one farmer says. “There is,” the other replies. “In year 2015 the C.E.O.s of Monsanto, DuPont Pioneer and John Deere combined made more money than 2,129 Iowa farmers.” Apparently advertising dollars were pulled from the newspaper, and the cartoonist was fired. So much for free speech!
