[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

Thank you, @POTUS, for signing this landmark Executive Order to scale regenerative agriculture and advance the Make America Healthy Again agenda.

On Thursday, @SecRollins and I joined President Trump alongside America's leading regenerative farmers because healthier food starts with healthier soil.

This Executive Order expands support for regenerative agriculture, invests in research to better understand cumulative chemical exposures, and empowers America's farmers to grow a healthier, more abundant, and more affordable food supply.

We can't Make America Healthy Again without America's farmers.

[The Woolshire @thewoolshire]

Could not have done this without all your support. It's been a wild journey and we are just getting started.

Thank you all - we will make you proud!

[Vani Hari @thefoodbabe]

How can we expect to get healthy when the food industry is literally stacking the cards against us, using flavor chemistry to get us hooked... against our own willpower, against our own common sense?

The Fight for Raw Milk

Max Kane was ten years old when he was diagnosed with degenerative Crohn's disease and told he would likely die in his mid-thirties. He is asymptomatic and off medication seventeen years after discovering raw kefir and raw dairy. He has spent the years since building the infrastructure to help others find the same access.

@JeffereyJaxen sits down with Kane to take a pulse check on raw milk in America. Oklahoma just raised its monthly raw milk sales cap to 1,500 gallons, a meaningful win at the state level. Robert Kennedy Jr. told a roundtable in Eau Claire, Wisconsin that he drinks raw milk every week in Washington, D.C., purchasing it under pet consumption labeling because interstate trafficking of raw milk remains federally restricted.

That legal gap is where states diverge sharply: Wyoming allows raw milk sales without restriction, while in Wisconsin, buying raw milk from a local farmer is still a criminal act. https://t.co/WqKYGWwBaA, the platform Kane helped build to connect consumers directly with local farms by zip code, just crossed 100 million dollars in cumulative sales, with 93% of that money going directly to small local farmers.

In a food economy worth 2.5 trillion dollars annually, dominated by four major corporations, this represents a genuine redirection of purchasing power toward the people growing the food.

The upcoming raw milk and farm food freedom event at Churchtown Dairy in Hudson, New York on June 27th brings together Del Bigtree, Sheriff Richard Mack, (who won a landmark 1997 Supreme Court case establishing that sheriffs as chief law enforcement officers of their counties have constitutional discretion not to enforce laws they find unconstitutional), and a growing number of sheriffs who have used that authority to turn away state and federal officials attempting to shut down raw milk farmers in their counties.

The event opens with a theatrical performance based on the book "The Dairy Pill," which documents the fraud behind the campaign to brand raw milk as unsafe, followed by formal presentations, and an aerial circus performance by Kane's daughter, Jasmine, to close the program.

One of the strangest myths about the carnivore diet is that you'll get scurvy.

If that were true, why are there so many long-term carnivores thriving after years of eating meat, eggs, fish, and other animal foods?

No bleeding gums.
No teeth falling out.
No poor wound healing.

Turns out, the internet isn't always right. Did someone warn you that carnivore would cause scurvy?

Putting up a few pounds of broccoli from the garden today. Cut, soak, steam blanch, ice bath, shake off the water, flash freeze, bag, and put in the freezer with the last batch of meat chickens, last year’s peaches, and strategic raw milk reserves).

New World Screwworm just hit Texas.

Confirmed June 3 in Zavala County. 3-week-old calf, larvae in the umbilical area. First U.S. case since the 1970s outbreaks.

We've been saying the commodity system is fragile. https://t.co/K9A3PMAwf6 was built for exactly this.

National herd at a 75-year low — 86 million head, 12 million of those in Texas. Any shock to that herd moves the needle fast.

We do NOT need gene edited citrus to beat citrus greening. We need to stop spraying herbicides all around the root of the trees, destroying the soil and natural immunity. THAT is why greening has killed the majority of the orange crop. Happy to provide a tour of examples!

[Farm Action @FarmActionUS]

America’s meat processing rules are stuck in the past.

Yesterday, Farm Action submitted a public comment urging the USDA to modernize size definitions for meat, poultry, and egg processors.

Right now, the federal government largely classifies processing facilities based on employee count, not actual production scale or corporate ownership.

That means small independent processors are often treated the same as massive automated plants owned by multinational corporations with far greater resources and capacity.

Family-scale operations are getting crushed by rules never designed for them, while corporate consolidation keeps growing.

[The Woolshire @thewoolshire]

We never meant to become a wool company, but as we grew our company we saw all the holes in what was once incredible American infrastructure. Holes that can’t be ignored.

What started as a wool pillow company in our basement has quickly evolved into “we must save the American wool industry”.

We need way less corn and way more cattle

We need less soy and more sheep

We need less wheat and more mulberry and pawpaws

We need less at scale farms and ranches and more small scale local food producers

We need the government to stay out of our food system

[Wyoming Freedom Caucus @WYFreedomCaucus]

"In a state with more than 10,000 farms and ranches spanning nearly 30 million acres of land (much of them are small, family-run operations), we can and should tackle our food desert problem with true food freedom reform."

[Farm Action @FarmActionUS]

URGENT:

Congress is on the verge of putting countless hog farmers out of business with the 2026 Farm Bill.

Why?

It includes the Save Our Bacon Act, which would overturn California’s Prop 12.

Prop 12 is a lifeline for independent farmers.

Corporate consolidation has been pushing independent farmers out of the market and out of business for decades.

These farmers got a rare lifeline with Prop 12, which required pork, veal, and egg producers selling their products in California to meet minimum space standards for the animals.

But corporate lobbyists are lying to you about it, and the House-passed farm bill threatens to overturn this state law.

This would not only deliver a massive blow to independent farmers and further entrench corporate control, it would also be a severe infringement on states’ rights.

Farm Action’s Joe Maxwell is a Missouri hog farmer himself.

Hear him break down the biggest myths that corporate lobbyists are perpetuating about Prop 12:

“Myth one: Prop 12 caused a surge in pork prices.”

“In reality, prices only went up 6.6% after Prop 12 took effect, a normal market adjustment.”

“That 41% increase?”

“That jump happened years earlier, thanks to Covid and low hog prices—not Prop 12.”

“Myth two: Prop 12 led to the loss of 5,000 farmers.”

“Those losses happened before Prop 12.”

“It’s a decade-long trend.”

“So what’s the real cause?”

“Corporate consolidation.”

“Meanwhile, Prop 12 actually provides a premium market opportunity for independent hog farmers, keeping them afloat.”

“Myth three: Prop 12 is a food security risk.”

“False again.”

“Pork shelves are full, and at least 27% of pork producers are already Prop 12-compliant.”

Myth four: “Prop 12 endangers animal welfare because sows crush their piglets if not confined in crates.”

“The truth is, Prop 12 only bans gestation crates for sows that are pregnant, not farrowing crates for nursing piglets.”

“Prop 12 protects farmers, consumers, and animal welfare.”
