WTF? or What's Threatening Farmers? There are many things threatening American agriculture: animal rights activists, radical environmentalists, consumer advocates, policy makers, elected officials, pandemics, junk science, social media hoaxes, and many more. Some of these are being espoused by the ignorant and uninformed who are clueless about the impact their efforts will have on the food, fiber, and fuel supply. Others are organized and well-funded by professional activities, malcontents, and “wing nuts.” These mountebanks have a specific anti-agriculture agenda that, if successful, will take away a farmer’s livelihood and even his land. In this podcast, veteran farm broadcaster Gary Truitt will explore these threats in depth and what farmers and ranchers have to lose if they are not countered. Known for not mincing words, Truitt will talk with industry leaders, experts, and others on the front lines of defending farmers from these threats.
