    mprnews.org/story/2026/08/07/m

    The lettuce grower told state regulators Wednesday that it would be forced to close its Medford facility about an hour south of the Twin Cites and layoff approximately 89 employees if the site or company does not secure financing or get bought out before Oct. 4.

  15. RE: journa.host/@samlitzinger/1170

    Yesterday it was the #US State Department misplacing African countries on a map presented at an international conference. Today¹ it is #USDA listing a fictional nation as a free-trade US partner. Maybe tomorrow they will impose tariffs on their products, because they dared not exist.

    Endless humiliation for a country that still has rovers exploring and mapping other planets, but lets #technofascist incompetence run it.

  20. The corps have stopped the #USDA & #FDA from protecting consumers first when it comes to food safety. One of the ways they did it was by suing the agency that announced who shipped tainted food & who distributed it.
    The system is set up to protect the corps & not the public. We don't have the lobbying power big Ag does.
    This failure to NAME the stores carrying the products & report the details is dangerous to public health,

  24. > The return of screwworm “should not be reduced to a simple partisan blame story,” Dr. Joseph Annelli, a former director of emergency programs for veterinary services at the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, told us. “The more accurate explanation is a long-term preparedness failure involving multiple administrations, multiple Congresses, international partners, workforce shortages, infrastructure limitations, and the natural human tendency to underinvest in prevention until a crisis occurs.”
