It's flown mostly under the radar, but USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue is pushing a restructuring of USDA research services that would move the research out of the DC beltway and into the countryside. Randy Russell of the Russell Group joins DC Signal to Noise this week to give details on the effort to move ERS and NIFA, who is fighting for and against the move and what it will mean for farmers and ranchers. Plus Randy joins Jim Wiesemeyer and John Herath to discuss the latest positive news on China trade, implementation of the new dairy margin program, and the continuing strong support for President Donald Trump in farm and ranch country.
