Foreign land ownership: China, Syngenta, and military proximity issues
Immigration enforcement & H-2A labor cost crisis
ICE raids' ripple effects on agriculture, hospitality, and meatpacking
Farm Bill vs. “Big Beautiful Bill”: what's funded, what’s ignored
SNAP cuts, commodity payments, and rural broadband gaps
Screw worm threat and animal disease control gaps
