A Wisconsin agronomist says tariffs aren’t the real cause of the U.S. agriculture crisis—they’re exposing deeper problems.
“Tariffs exposed weaknesses; they didn’t create them,” said agricultural economist Success Okafor, who argues long‑term resilience, not quick fixes, is the answer.

Trump's latest beef decree is 'for consumers,' but economists and ranchers say otherwise. Sound familiar? It's the same old trade playbook, more sizzle than steak, conveniently ignoring who REALLY profits. #TradeWars #AgPolicy

Advocates challenge a permit for Rob-N-Cin Farms, a large dairy in WI operating for years without one.
Adam Voskuil of @midwestadvocates.bsky.social: the environmental review for their current permit was inadequate and violated the Wisconsin Environmental Policy Act.

Montana farmers call federal “bridge payments” a relief—but not a fix.
“It’s putting a Band‑Aid on a bullet hole,” says MFU’s Erik Somerfeld. Wheat prices are down; export markets have shrunk.

🚜 Farmers slam Trump’s $12B bailout as a “Band-Aid on an open wound.” They say it won’t fix trade war damage.

Rural Main Streets are off the floor but still hurting, as the November Rural Mainstreet Index (RMI) inches up from October’s five-year low yet stays below growth-neutral. Towns need resilience and diversification, not complacency. jcshepard.com/2025/12/rura... #RuralEconomy #AgPolicy #SmallTowns
Corn’s clean-energy promise is clashing with its climate footprint.
Of course, policies that would mitigate climate impact got stripped out by the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”

A farmer drives a tractor during a protest in Germany. The sign reads: "This is a job driving by—how much longer? When the farmer dies, the land dies too!" This reflects farmers' growing concerns about economic pressure and lack of recognition in agricultural policy.

A new @ZALF_leibniz study shows: EU agri-policy frames nature mainly as a resource – not as habitat or identity. 🌿 #AgPolicy #Biodiversity
The farmer even threatened to hide the quarantined sheep in her house to block CFIA. Inspectors can enter barns, not the farmhouse. A time-limited solution, to say the least. 🐑 #CFIA #Scrapie #Biosecurity #AgPolicy
Remember the 2012 Ontario standoff when CFIA ordered heritage sheep destroyed for scrapie (a prion disease)? The farmer hid them and they scattered across Ontario, risking spread. It was like Waco, but with sheep. 🐑🇨🇦 #CFIA #Scrapie #AgPolicy #WacoWithSheep

Insecticides coat most corn & soy seeds—harmful to bees, birds, water, yet farmers often have no real choice in contracts. Hidden chemicals = climate & ecosystem risk. #ClimateChange #AgPolicy #Pollinators #Sustainability
Gilbert Farms’ CAFO expansion proposal has triggered Wisconsin’s first in-person DNR hearing since 2020. Residents cite risks to well water and tourism in Door County, where liquid waste could rise to 20M gallons annually.

America’s food system runs on immigrant labor, and it’s shaking under the weight of immigration crackdowns. Raids, fear, policy whiplash are hitting farms & food plants hard.
Advocates: No workers, no harvest. No harvest, no food.
