Gray Wolves Disrupt Rural California and U.S. Reaches Multiple Trade Deals
From the Ag Information Network, this is your Agribusiness Update.
**The migration of gray wolves into California’s Sierra Valley has disrupted rural communities and led to significant losses for cattle ranchers.
Sierra County Sheriff Mike Fisher talked to the Voice of
California Agriculture podcast about challenges such as confirming cattle kills were caused by wolves, as well as the economic and emotional stress ranchers have faced.
Fisher suspects we are going to see some of the ranchers not return next year.
**Since May, the U.S. has advanced multiple trade agreements and frameworks that directly affect agriculture.
www.morningagclips.com reports the deals include the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, United Kingdon, the E.U., and Japan, and they all matter thanks to things like market expansion with new and more predictable export opportunities for U.S. producers of feed grains, poultry, dairy, biofuels, and specialty crops.
They also improve investment risks amid rising global competition.
