Sustainability in the industry is something that's really important to me," he said. "I have got two young sons, my youngest is really interested in this business and would like to come into it, so I want it to still be here in the next 50 years.

Farmer's influence among business leaders was such that in 1966, he, Gerard Reilly (a former NLRB member), and Theodore Iserman (an attorney for the Chrysler corporation who helped draft the Taft-Hartley Act) were commissioned by the Labor Law Study Group to advise the business community on national labor law reforms to pursue. The Labor Law Study Group was formed in the early 1960s by about 35 national corporations to assist large businesses in understanding labor relations, overcoming the policy and public relations successes of labor unions, and working toward labor law reform. Farmer, Reilly, and Iserman issued their report in 1970. [191] [192] [193] He said: "This is not commercial farming but it's also not a vanity project. We almost broke even last year," he said. Employer freedom of speech was another major issue for Farmer. Under its first chairman, J. Warren Madden, the NLRB had issued rulings which required employers to remain neutral during union organizing campaigns and elections. [62] The Supreme Court disagreed, however, and said in NLRB v. Virginia Electric & Power Co., 314 US 469 (1941), that employers could express their opinion about unions and union organizing efforts so long as that speech was not coercive. [63] The NLRB subsequently held employer speech was not coercive unless blatantly so or part of a broad pattern of coercive conduct. [7] :104

These proved to be the last the board would issue. On October 17, 1953, The Farmer-led board issued a decision which revoked the representation rights of union whose officers had made false anti-communist oaths. [143] Eight days later, the Farmer board announced it would not conduct representative elections for any union whose officers had been indicted for not filing or filing false anti-communist affidavits. [144] Finally, on May 31, 1954, the Farmer board denied the protection of the NLRA to the International Fur & Leather Workers Union after its president, Ben Gold, was indicted for perjury for filing false anti-communist affidavits. It was the first time the NLRB had denied the protection of the law to an entire international union. [145] Although a federal court enjoined the NLRB from disqualifying the Fur & Leather Workers in July 1954, [146] another federal court upheld the NLRB's authority to question the veracity of anti-communist affidavits. [147] This latter decision led the Farmer board to withdraw the protection of the act from a second international union, the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers. [148] In April 1955, the Farmer board disqualified a third international union, the UE. [149] Each of the 42 farms in the Jordans partnership works with an expert advisor from their local Wildlife Trust and has a bespoke plan to support wildlife, focussing on key species and habitats which are important to the farm’s local landscape.

Styles' reasons for leaving the Board are unclear. Solomon G. Lippman, general counsel for the Retail Clerks International Union, claimed in Senate testimony before the United States Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in Labor and Management in 1957 that Styles had been induced to leave the Board by Nathan Shefferman, a one-time Teamsters official and co-founder of Labor Relations Associates (a union-avoidance consulting firm). According to Lippman, Shefferman told Styles he was "too liberal" for the Board and offered him a high-paying job if he left the agency. Whatever his reason for leaving the NLRB, Styles did quit, and took a job with Retail Associates, Inc., a Shefferman-run association of retail stores based in Toledo, Ohio.

But if I say to them your job is to take care of those pigs, make their lives as comfortable as possible, keep them as well-fed as possible, keep their vaccines up, and all those types of things, that leads to more productivity because the sows will have more piglets, they will look after them better, the whole thing spirals.
