Some in the U.S. farm industry are alarmed by Trump's embrace of RFK Jr. and tariffs

President-elect Trump won landslide support in much of farm country, but his embrace of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his plan for a tariff fight with China alarms many farmers and agriculture experts.
Almost 15 years of advocacy and this scares me more than anything.
Perspective: RFK Jr. poses a danger to American agriculture | AGDAILY

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has voiced strong opposition to current scientific consensus about modern agriculture, particularly about pesticides and GMOs.
My latest for AGDAILY probably comes off much angrier than I really am. I discuss things I observed on my recent trip to the UK and Denmark. While I feel empathy for the farmers in those countries, I'm mostly thankful this disparity doesn't exist here.
Viewpoint: Europe's eco-friendly emphasis is off base | AGDAILY

While the average European may be inconvenienced by drinking a pop with an attached cap because of eco-efforts, farmers’ livelihoods are being destroyed.
I'm still enjoying my trip to Europe (more on that later), but back home on the farm #harvest2024 has officially started! I can't wait to get back and join my brother in the cab (we'll, actually, I can, but you know 😂).
Are hormones still allowed in milk cows?
I am not a dairy farmer, so I will refer you to someone that is .http://moderndayfarmchick.com/2014/01/07/o-m-g-you-use-rbst/comment-page-1/
In speaking to my dairy friends, even if it allowed, not all of them use it. Some milk suppliers do not allow it However, all milk has some level of naturally occurring hormones.
