Ag Secretary Perdue Talks About Future Farming at World Dairy Expo

U-S Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue says the 2018 farm bill will help Wisconsin’s dairy industry, but small farmers have no guarantees.  During a town hall at the World Dairy Expo, Perdue said, “I don’t think in America we, for any small business, we have a guaranteed income or guaranteed profitability of survival. That depends on each and every farmer and dairy farmer.”  Perdue told dairy farmers he blames China for the trade war and suggested struggling farmers might want to consider expanding their business to survive.  Wisconsin lost around 700 dairy farms last year.
