THE OTHER LIAR -JD Vances' SLAVE FARM -'AppHarvest' -The Myth That J.D. Vance Bootstrapped His Way to The Top

Company JD Vance Bankrolled Known For Nightmare Work Environment


Suffering With The Chaos and Pain That Came From Working on His 'Farm'- 'He Didn’t Care About Us Workers':

KY Gov. Andy Beshear - ''J.D. Vance Should Be a Convicted Felon Like Trump'






Before he launched his political career, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) was a venture capitalist who funded several fledgling companies.


One of those was an Eastern Kentucky-based agricultural startup with HELLISH working conditions. Reports that AppHarvest — which Vance propped up with millions of dollars in seed capital — had a reputation among its employees for a BRUTAL work environment in which basic safety measures were routinely ignored.

Even though AppHarvest has since gone under, the outlet noted that the testimonies from the company's former employees undercut the Ohio senator's claims of being a champion for the impoverished Appalachian underclass.

“I had to bring in my own N95 masks, because I was getting sick from the amount of mold and just nasty stuff that was in there”


It was the heat, though, that took a toll. Hester echoed Morgan’s account that workers were routinely taken out of the greenhouse by medical personnel because they were suffering from heat stroke symptoms. Those who went to the doctor, she said, were told by managers that a doctor’s note was not a sufficient reason to miss a shift.

On at least three occasions, state government inspectors visited AppHarvest facilities but issued no citations, documents show. Inspectors noted that they observed or heard about safety precautions during their visits, such as mandatory heat breaks and drinks offered to employees.





Public documents, and interviews with a dozen former workers, shows that AppHarvest not only failed as a business, but also provided grim job experience for many of working-class Kentuckians Vance vowed to help but NEVER did.

‘The problem with J.D. Vance is he has no conviction, but I guess his running mate has 34’ — Kentucky Gov. Andy
