A group of US farmers and environmental nonprofits is suing Trump's Department of Agriculture (USDA) for deleting climate change data from its website, the move will harm research and agricultural decision-making. #OpCanary #3E #EndAutoGenocide #USDA #Farmers

Farmers sue USDA after agency deletes climate change data
The lawsuit says the Agriculture Department is hindering farmers from using the data to make “agricultural decisions” while they also face a recent funding freeze.

“I don’t care whether you have an R or a D next to your name. I have no use for politicians that play dress up in cowboy boots and say they care about farmers and then do nothing in our hour of need.” @farmherhallie.bsky.social at @jonesforar.bsky.social town hall last night. #arpx #USDA #farmers

#USDA has confirmed that the discovery of #H5N1 #birdflu in Arizona — found through bulk milk testing — does indeed represent a new spillover from wild birds into cows. This is the third time this has been observed to have happened. www.aphis.usda.gov/news/p….

Because there's not enough going on: Arizona has found #H5N1 #birdflu in milk and it looks like yet another spillover from wild birds. www.statnews.com/2025/02/14/a...

The cuts amounted to $500 million in funds. Thousands of planned deliveries were canceled without warning in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. The #USDA did not respond to questions or requests for comment. Read the story by Ruth Talbot and @nicolesantacruz.bsky.social.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived.

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Stunning: 58 new #H5N1 #birdflu infected herds in California confirmed by #USDA today. The US dairy industry needs to have a long think about biosecurity. If H5 killed cows, the industry would be sunk. www.aphis.usda.gov/livest….

#USDA posted an analysis of the D1.1 #H5N1 #birdflu viruses that infected Nevada cows — the new spillover event. They spotted a mutation in the PB2 gene that is associated with mammalian adaptation. What's this mean? Dunno. But 2 spillovers means more could come. www.aphis.usda.gov/sites/….
