The Gardner Files

Ranching, farming and free enterprise in general have been under constant attack for well over forty years now – most of the harm has been accomplished by the spread and teaching of misinformation and out-right lies about industry and agriculture. Unfortunately, those within agriculture and industry have not defended themselves as they should. Too many of us have been negligent in standing up for our neighbors, our industry, or for the constitutional principles this nation was founded upon.
The purpose of this website, therefore, is to accomplish three things:

First, it sets forth the truth regarding the issues herein stated.
Second, it is our hope that it will serve to encourage people to stand against the abuses that have been ongoing for so long now.
Third, it is our hope that you who are concerned for the future of our nation use the information that is incorporated within this website in whatever way you can in order to protect our culture, our future, and our constitutional form of government.
