 These farmers, they do feed our country and they feed the world. I tell everybody you can farm for 20 years and make a good living, but you can have a bad one and lose everything. A first-of-its-kind lawsuit pits firefighters against major companies.

The legal action alleges the firefighters' jackets, pants and other so-called turnout gear.
