“Analysis: Hurricane Helene’s Impact on Agricultural Producers in Virginia May Reach $630M”
By: Augusta Free Press – November 15, 2024
“When evaluating the hurricane’s impact, it’s also important to estimate the indirect impact of future losses.

“Ham Prices And Choices Increase Near Holidays”
By: Pampa News – November 16, 2024
“The lower production is likely because several months of financial losses are beginning to take their toll on pork production.

“Despite Their Critical Role in Feeding the Nation, Farmworkers Face Harsh Working Conditions”
By: San Diego Union Tribune – November 27, 2024
“Calling the U.S. farm workforce “critical” is an understatement. Agricultural workers’ labor feeds us.
