American Farm Bureau Federation weighs in on the suspension of Mexican cattle following screwworm detection

USDA is working to keep America’s livestock protected from new world screwworm.

The current suspension of live animal imports from Mexico is set to stay in place month-to-month until there is progress in containing the pest.

American Farm Bureau economist Bernt Nelson spoke with RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander about what new world screwworm is, protocols, and the impact it has had on the United States.
