This past Saturday, Federal Trade Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya met with Iowa Farmers Union members on the Griffieon Family Farm just north of Ankeny. This was one of many stops Bedoya has made as he continues his lawsuit against the Trump administration, which fired him without due cause in March. Bedoya specifically made it a point to return to Iowa and touch on topics that he heard about in similar meetings he had with farmers three years prior.
