MENGENAI EPISOD INI
We are just days away from celebrating the 250th anniversary of America's Independence Day, prompting many to look back to the earliest days of our country for lessons in how to weather challenging and uncertain times.
DTN’s Farm Business Editor Chris Clayton even took a trip down to Mount Vernon, the historical farm of America’s first President, George Washington, to bring us a vision of how farmers' past survived, and thrived, through war, anemic markets, and trying political conditions.
While Chris will share about his recent visit to America’s founding farm, he also brings us a raft of updates on key ag policy issues from the nation’s capital. First, we’ll talk about President Trump’s recent visit to speak with Wisconsin Farmers, about what the White House is saying about possible additional farm aid and pending discussions of the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement, or USMCA.
We’ll also talk about the unfolding New World Screwworm story, and how USDA is responding, especially as the department also continues to undergo a large-scale reorganization.
Finally, we’ll get into the price of beef, long lasting fertilizer impacts from the Iran conflict, and what all this might mean for the midterm elections in November.
