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.

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.
