Like many politicians, Senator Bernie Sanders is a polemic figure. But as he once again runs for president in an already crowded field, he’s looking for ways to stand out. Recently, during a stop in Iowa, Sanders introduced a rural and agricultural plan that intends to break up big agriculture companies and invest in rural farming communities.

“I come from one of the most rural and the most beautiful states in the United States,” he told the crowd in Osage, Iowa. “I will not write off rural America. Maybe I’m kind of radical here, but I think a farmer who produces the food that we eat is maybe almost as important as some crook on Wall Street who destroys the economy… Agribusiness conglomerates extract as much wealth out of small communities as they possibly can while family farmers are going bankrupt and in many ways are being treated like modern-day indentured servants.”

While his Revitalizing Rural America plan will mostly help small farm owners, it also aims to help rural communities at large by increasing pay for teachers and adding ESL and college-accreditation classes. Some have called the plan ambitious, while others believe he is misguided. Below, learn more about what Sanders proposes and how it could help Latinos.
