Farm Broadcaster Fired After Ripping Monsanto's Goon Squads
By CORPORATE CRIME REPORTER
If you have heard of Learfield Communications, it is probably from listening to college football and basketball games.The Jefferson City, Missouri based Learfield is one of the nation’s largest broadcasters of college sports.But it also produces news programming heard throughout the farm belt.Learfield was started 35 years ago by Clyde Lear and Derry Brownfield.

Lear went on to be the chairman of the company. He bought out his friend and partner Brownfield in 1985.Brownfield went on to do market news reports for the Learfield news division until 1997 or so, when he started broadcasting a daily call-in show called The Common Sense Coalition. Derry Brownfield would broadcast The Common Sense Coalition from the studios of Learfield Communications.

Learfield would subsidize the program and allow Brownfield to use its studios and satellite hook-up. Monsanto happens to be a big advertiser of the Learfield news division – to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Brownfield happens to think that Monsanto is an evil corporation. Therein lies the rub.
