‘We Love Our Farmers’

During the ceremony commemorating Make America Healthy Again, President Donald Trump paid tribute to agriculture. “I have to say we have the greatest farmers in the world, and we love our farmers, and we want to pay respect to our farmers and we always will,” said Trump. “We won the farmers by a lot in the election in all three elections and we won by a lot; I will never forget that.”However, traditional agriculture groups were quick to pan the MAHA report. Farm Bureau released a statement saying it is troubling that the White House endorsed a report that undermines confidence in the food system and farming practices. Farmers Union said the report disregarded the expertise of respected regulatory bodies and left farmers out of the conversation. Commodity groups, including corn, wheat, and cotton growers, also raised concerns about the MAHA report.
