J.P. Dunn serves as Executive Director of Protect the Harvest, a nonprofit organization dedicated to defending American agriculture, food production, and property rights from well-funded activist groups. Based in Tebbetts, Missouri, he advocates for farmers, ranchers, and rural communities across the country.
Dunn has been particularly active in opposing ballot initiatives that threaten agricultural operations. In 2024, he led efforts to raise awareness about Denver ballot initiatives 308 and 309, which targeted Superior Farms, an employee-owned lamb processing facility. He highlighted the potential economic impact of such measures, including threats to 160 families and $861 million in economic activity.
Through Protect the Harvest, Dunn exposes the tactics and funding of animal rights organizations, including their connections to groups like PETA and the Humane Society of the United States. He educates the public about how regulations like California's animal welfare mandates drive up food costs nationwide and how activist groups use ballot measures to undermine property rights and consumer choice.
Dunn also addresses broader issues affecting rural America, including Bureau of Land Management grazing rights and the impact of federal land management policies on ranching communities. He has appeared on the Kim Monson Show multiple times to discuss these issues and warn about activist threats to American food production.

J.P. Dunn of Protect the Harvest discusses threats to affordable food and the slaughterhouse ban, while Trent Loos addresses taxation and government spending in Nebraska.
“There's 16 different groups across the country that all use the same business model, and they're sharing board members with PETA and all these groups. This includes ASPCA and the Humane Society of the United States, which has a great name because they're living off of the reputation of their local humane societies that actually help animals. But in this case, less than 4% of their budget goes to actually helping animals. It all goes to advertising and paying lobbyists.”
