Poignant piece from @alisatang on the closing of Shepherds Manor Creamery. This comes on the heels of closings of other #cheesemaking operations in Virginia & Vermont. The #FarmBill should be helping small farmers like these to survive and thrive. https://t.co/KcIEkjddJW

When Russia first invaded Ukraine last year, Cargill announced it’d remain operating in Russia on “essential” supplies, such as grain shipments (citing global food security). Now the company says it’ll halt loading Russian grain exports. https://t.co/IYZSGDGrhm
