This week on Ag News Daily, we cover efforts to expand demand for corn and soybean growers, insights of an animal activist report, and share the latest updates in dairy and cattle markets. Plus, we break down takeaways for agriculture from the newest MAHA Commission report.

Agriculture headlines on this week’s podcast include potential aid for crop growers, two new reports on vegan and animal activist movements nationwide, Nebraska’s first H5N1 avian flu case in a dairy herd, and McDonald’s investment in farmers’ regenerative agriculture practices. Additional stories feature a new economic impact report on fairs across the country, plus the latest weather, market, and fertilizer updates.

In this week’s interview, Elizabeth Burns-Thompson, Executive Director of the Modern Ag Alliance, discusses the latest MAHA Commission report — the Make Our Children Healthy Again Strategy. This 20-page report follows the nearly 100-page version released earlier this year. She explains what it means for agriculture, how state governments may build on it and why it’s vital for farmers to share their stories.
