In this episode of the AgNet News Hour, hosts Sabrina Halvorson and Lorrie Boyer discuss a significant legal battle as a group of farmers files a lawsuit against the USDA. The lawsuit addresses the Trump administration’s deletion of decades-worth of climate change data, a crucial source of information for agricultural decision-making. The episode examines the implications of this action on farmers, including the potential impact on agricultural programs, organic certifications, and financial plans. Additionally, the discussion touches on new fees being imposed on Chinese-built ships entering U.S. ports. The hosts consider the broader ramifications for consumers and related industries.
We also have this week’s Almond Update, which discusses upcoming workshops for almond growers.
