Join us for a discussion on the current state of agriculture in the U.S. Farmers today face a range of challenges, including rising input costs, variable commodity prices, and changing interest rates. Labor shortages remain a concern, especially with many agricultural workers lacking legal status and ongoing debates over immigration and the H-2A visa program. Climate-related issues like droughts, extreme weather, and water availability are also impacting production. Additionally, the U.S. is experiencing a growing agricultural trade deficit as global markets shift. We’ll explore how these factors are shaping the food system, farm labor, and rural economies across the country.
