Save US Farms uses pseudonymous bylines tied to specific beats. The named editor on the About page retains all editorial accountability. Every claim is sourced; corrections land at /corrections/.
Desmond Vega
Runs the War Room — translating USDA datasets and farm-credit reports into plain English. If the numbers say farmers are getting squeezed, Desmond finds exactly where the squeeze is tightest.
June Whitehorse
Goes wherever the story is — from tribal land disputes in the Dakotas to citrus groves in Florida. Covers all six beats and keeps the desk grounded in what farmers are actually saying.
Mara Okafor
Tracks the money behind the dirt — foreign buyers, PE roll-ups, and the shell companies that hide them. Former property-records nerd, current FOIA obsessive.
Priya Sundaram
Covers what industrial ag does to land, water, and air — and the growers fighting to reclaim the ground beneath their feet. Soil health is her beat; extractive capital is her villain.
Tomás Reyes
Reports from the fields, packing sheds, and labor camps where America's food gets made. Fluent in Spanish; deeply fluent in the power imbalances that keep farmworkers invisible.
