#SmilingHillFarm (post from FB): "Because of the drought, we have been moving our cows around to different pastures… in search of green grass. We cannot recall the last time the cows grazed in the shadow of our Big Red Barn. The fields are just that dry… and not growing fast enough to sustain them. 😢 "

This month, Rothwell is submitting the last paperwork for a $100,000 #USDA #grant awarded under the #Biden admin for a disease study – money that’s part of a federal review of #climate-related #research. She’s not sure if the money will come through. Colleagues at other land-grant schools haven’t been paid, she said.

When they fired up the tree shaker…a rust-colored cloud of brown rot spores rose in the heat & settled on their sleeves. Tree by tree, they logged bruised fruit & powdery mold.
“This kind of research doesn’t have #corporate backers,” Rothwell said. “It’s always been the #government & the growers.”

On Traverse City’s northern edge, the Northwest #Michigan #Horticulture #Research Center is a 137-acre test #farm. Run by #MSU & funded by #USDA #grants & grower money, it’s where Dr. Nikki Rothwell has spent more than two decades helping orchards survive.
…#Farmers lean on her, especially now.
On a sticky summer morning, she walked the rows with interns & researchers, testing hardier trees & better fruit.
-
…Emily Miezio, whose #farm spans about 2,500 acres in Sutton Bay, #Michigan, leads the #Cherry Marketing Institute, the tart cherry industry trade group. For years, they’d tried to claw back into #China.
“That door’s pretty much slammed shut,” she said, since #Trump’s 2018 #trade wars. Now they’re courting #Mexico & #SouthKorea.

…In 2024, the #US exported nearly $506 million in fresh cherries worldwide – up 10% in value & 3% in volume from the year before, US Census Bureau #trade data shows.
In the first half of this year, as #Trump’s #trade wars reignited, US fresh #fruit #exports fell 17% in volume & 15% in value. US shipments to #China never fully recovered after Trump’s 2018 trade war. Sales to #Canada also fell 18% by volume in the first 6 months.

The Kings & nearly a dozen other #farmers across party lines told Reuters they expected #tariffs to return if #Trump won, but they hoped for a more surgical approach.
About one-third of the Kings’ concentrate goes overseas, mostly to Taiwan & New Zealand. But #Michigan’s #weather related crop loss will play a bigger role in diminished tart #cherry exports than tariffs this year, the Kings & other growers said.
-
…#Trump’s sweeping tax-&-spending #law expanded safety nets for large commodity crop operations [#FactoryFarms], such as corn & soybeans, for feed & biofuels.
But #nutrition & #LocalFood programs #fruit & #vegetable growers depend on were slashed, & his #trade policies chilled demand from top export partners, according to government data & academic researchers.

From #weather, plant disease & pest woes, #USDA forecast #Michigan will lose 41% of its tart cherry crop this year,compared to 2024. NW MI, where the King farm is located, faces the steepest drop – about 70%, acc/to the #Cherry Industry Administrative Board.

#Farmers in the hills near Grand Traverse Bay, where the fruit of their labor has filled pies & fed generations, said they are caught in the crosshairs of #Trump’s reshaping of #government, with sharp cuts & increasing delays hitting the $227 million US tart #cherry industry hard.
-
A #USDA #grant request for #funding a cold-storage unit remained in limbo, as #Trump cut spending on #farm programs & #agricultural #research. And Jack King, Juliette’s brother & the farm’s agronomist, kept searching for #fertilizer cheap enough to haul & untouched by Trump’s #trade wars.
“It all slows us down,” King McAvoy, the farm’s business manager, said during a brief pause in July’s harried harvest.

My latest story: Sustainable Farmers See Promise in New Financing Options. Some small farms are rejecting expansion pressure by investing in long-term value. Will funders follow suit? #agriculture #financing #regenerative #sustainable #farmloans #smallfarms #bcorp #banking #organic #familyfarms

Back in the 70's, a US Ag secretary said, "get big or get out." That's when the rural family dairy farm culture in Wisconsin started dying out. Killed by Big Money. #Wisconsin #dairy #FamilyFarms

Good morning from Moigny-sur-École and the cows who produce the fine organic milk for La Ferme de Moigny. How lucky we are to be able to buy this fresh, local product and support a family farm. Bonjour de Moigny-sur-École et les vaches de la Ferme de Moigny. Quel privilège d'avoir cette qualité du lait près de chez nous et de pouvoir soutenir une famille de laitiers. https://www.lafermedemoigny.com/
