MAHA Reaction: National Farmers Union says that producers are here to produce healthy food

“Big picture-- President Trump is to be commended for focusing on the health and well-being of our nation’s kids...”

Ag groups are weighing in on the Make America Healthy Again report. The document makes a link between chronic disease in children and ultraprocessed foods, chemicals, and even vaccines.

National Farmers Union President, Rob Larew, spoke with RFD-TV’s Suzanne Alexander on their reaction, impact on producers, and what to expect moving forward.
