Thursday, May 02, 2024
Here in the United States, we are witnessing what appears to be a state-by-state effort to dismantle the regulatory protections and support for agriculture that was put in place so many years ago.

WASHINGTON, April 19, 2017- A mounting wave of new genetics technology is on its way, promising improved health and growth to farm animals, along with improved management tools and profits to livestock owners.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 15, 2017 - Americans can be forgiven for being confused when they go to the grocery store. They confront dozens of choices in slick packaging with a variety of claims.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 2017 - There is more evidence of a continued downturn in the U.S. farm economy. USDA says that net farm income is likely to decline this year by 8.7 percent to $62.3 billion. That would make this the fourth straight decline since the peak in 2013.
