Ag groups are weighing in on the Make America Health Again Report. The document makes a link between chronic disease in children and ultra-processed foods, chemicals, and even vaccines.

President of the National Corn Growers Association, Kenny Hartman spoke with RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender about his main takeaways, the importance of pesticides, and his message to the administration.
