@GGunthorp @HouseAgGOP To answer your questions in order: -no, apparently not -yes, but apparently they’ve been forgotten/lost to abstraction & distraction

Is anyone considering the resilience of of our food supply? Did we learn anything from COVID? @HouseAgGOP

@GGunthorp It would be interesting to see how much water use changes for each pivot uses after cropland changes to perennial forage. And for each of the first 20 years it’s grazed using AMP vs set stocking. Among other things. There is plenty empirical evidence for nutritional improvement.

Who is brave enough to buy heifers? I’m going to be a cattle producer. When should we buy?

More than 100 @NFUDC members including @MNFarmersUnion president @GaryWertish are in DC this week advocating for a new #Farm Bill brownfieldagnews.com/news/farmers-u… @brownfield #agnews

📢Big news via @politico @Morning_Ag: "Advocates plan to blitz farm country in a bid to include checkoff reforms in the farm bill" as 16 farm groups launch the #EnoughIsEnough Tour. We're calling for an end to government policies that favor the largest food industry giants. 1/2

I'm back in my hometown of Pittsburgh today talking with producers, small business owners, and local officials about the work @USDA is doing to create more economic opportunities and greater prosperity in communities in Pennsylvania and nationwide.

@GGunthorp Happy Independents’ Day!

Speaking of independence….. take a listen to my testimony at the House Judiciary Hearing. #AgTwitter rumble.com/v2u3jbm-greg-g…

Huge announcement by the Secretary of Agriculture at the National Farmers Union convention today on Product of USA rules. I’ve been fighting for this since 2015.

@GGunthorp There’s a San Francisco treat for you!

I’m stuck in traffic on a cable car in San Francisco waiting for Kamala Harris to go through.

Yesterday, @PAFarmersUnion President Michael Kovach participated in the first farm bill session of the new year, hosted by new House Agriculture Committee Chair 'GT' Thompson of Pennsylvania.

@GGunthorp Magyar pork!

Added two of these girls to the farm. No, the boars and ewes didn’t get “together”. A very small niche within a niche. #porkfatrules #mangalista #realpigfarming

@madbaldscotsman @PendantCody @FarmAid Not to pick nits, but Boston Butt is the shoulder. If Neil’s point was porcine, it’s the ham he was talking about. (We’re guessing he meant the best plan is to #votewithyourfork and #knowyourfarmer!😜)

@PendantCody @FarmAid "From the bottom up". HONEY! We need to go get some Boston Butt. Neil Young says

Unfortunately, COVID has found our friends @nrateliff and The Night Sweats on the road. They need to take some time to get better, and will not be able to perform at #FarmAid2022. Stay tuned for a new schedule but rest assured we'll still have a full day of incredible music! ❤️
