The Make America Healthy Again Commission will release a report this week that may have a significant impact on America’s farmers, producers, and ranchers, and the public’s trust in the food system. Groups like the American Soybean Association, the National Corn Growers Association, the National Association of Wheat Growers, and the International Fresh Produce Association are asking the administration to consider the consequences of the report before it’s finalized. “American agriculture’s strong relationship with President Trump is based on his longstanding commitment to farmers and ranchers,” the groups said in a joint statement. “We’re hearing disturbing accounts that the report may suggest farmers are harming Americans through their practices and creating a chronic disease crisis. Nothing could be further from the truth.” The groups also say nutrition matters, health matters, and the confidence of American consumers in the food supply matters tremendously. Those groups represent hundreds of thousands of farmers across the country.
Welcome
