So even a relatively strong-say, 15%-recovery in US farm prices brings most back to barely profitable, pre-coronavirus levels. In last 3 yrs, total US farm program cost (Farm Bill+Trump Bucks) is ~$100B w/ no market impact. This is what an ag policy collapse looks like. https://t.co/oYqUfbPouv

Why would a public Land Grant tweet a discredited WH report by an in-the-tank reporter to wrongly undermine already weak US/China ag trade deal WH once loved? Pro tip @FarmPolicy, you do policy & let the politicians do the politics. https://t.co/E2wpOp8bZx

Solid reporting that could be introductory chapter of Congress’s Covid Commission report 5 years from now. Fact-filled, devastating timeline of US incompetence & hubris that promises even more failure & death this summer. https://t.co/M3d7GnpIRQ

Much here to praise @TimothyAWise @IATP. White House *food czar* is stretch but USDA reorg that emphasizes farms and food equally must be priority before rewrite of today’s failing, costly Farm Bill. https://t.co/jIvhsOIKWr
