DAVENPORT, IA- Protect The Harvest announced the second edition of RFD-TV Live With Protect The Harvest will air live on Monday, June 25th at 7 p.m. Central on RFD-TV. The show will focus how animal rights and anti-agricultural extremists are using misinformation and media distortions to target American farmers, ranchers and food producers. The one hour talk show will feature Protect The Harvest board-member Erik Helland along with special guests Rich Jochum and Jay Williams from BPI, the company at the center of the so-called “Pink Slime” controversy.
“This is a dark time for the hard working American families who are feeding not just our nation, but people throughout the world,” Erik Helland explained. “During the show, we're going to take an in-depth look at how animal rights extremists and other activists are using lies and smears to damage our food producers in order to fulfill their radical agenda.”
Erik Helland will be joined by Rich Jochum, BPI's Corporate Administrator, and Jay Williams, BPI's Plant Coordinator to examine the origin and impact of the media hysteria surrounding lean finely textured beef. This will be the first time the company has spoken on live television about the controversy.
“We've seen first-hand the tremendous damage lies and distortions in the media can cause in the lives of American businesses and families,” Jochum said. “Not only do real people get hurt, but our nation's food supply becomes less safe, less nutritious and less affordable.”
RFD-TV Live with Protect The Harvest will be hosted by News Director Mark Oppold. Viewers can call in with questions during the last segment of the show by calling 615.227.9292
