Happy 250th birthday to the greatest country to have ever existed in human history.
There is no other place that compares. There is no country with our freedom, liberty and prosperity. We are the greatest that ever was and ever will be. Thank you to our founding fathers for creating this incredible experiment that has prospered for so long.
We love you America, never change.

Executive action on Moroccan phosphate, June acreage numbers, and the release of Chairman G.T. Thompson’s agricultural labor bill made for a busy Tuesday.
We break down some of the details in the AgDay Minute.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is primarily fighting New World screwworm by releasing sterile flies.
I got an up-close look at that process during my visit to Texas last week. In the video below, we take you through the steps.
As stone thrower myself at times, please read 1 John 8:7. You don’t know his personal relationship with his family, and you don’t know what is in his heart. I encourage you, as a believer, to remember that every sin is equal in God’s eyes, and none of us are worthy, nor will we ever be, regardless of our “works.” Like you, I spend all the time with my wife and kids, and I’m still messed up. I don’t believe that comparing yourself to others in any way is healthy. We have all done it, but as believers we have to remember we should only be comparing ourselves to Jesus. Which we all fall way short of.
I find that focusing on someone’s strengths and the good they do is the best way to walk through life. Not that I’ve always done that.
Like how Jesus treated the woman at the well, or Mary Magdalene, or Peter, or Paul. Like King David.
God uses messed up people. Is God using Elon? Not sure but I think he uses all of us even if we don’t believe. Daniel 2:21
From USDA officials, an APHIS tick rider, wildlife experts, and sale barn owners, we had a line up of interviews in south Texas this week.
I also talked one-on-one with the ranch manager who reported the first case in La Pryor.

Southwest Livestock Exchange is within a New World Screwworm Infection Zone.
The owner's most urgent message-- It's a restricted zone, not a quarantine zone. As long as protocols are followed, livestock can still move and sell.

A sale barn in Uvalde, Texas, is communicating with its customers and buyers. They are in a restricted zone for New World screwworm, but it is not a lockdown.
Livestock can still be sold as long as the rules are followed and the animals are healthy.
In Kerrville, Texas I asked Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins if the border with Mexico will open to live cattle imports now that New World Screwworm is in the U.S.
“It is not lost on me,” she says. “We will continue to watch the data very, very, very closely.”
82 years ago today, over 10,000 Americans were either killed, wounded or missing after the D-Day invasion. They are the shoulders we stand upon. Their sacrifice is why we STAND UP for our Flag. I dedicate this song to them today. Here's "The Man."
A case of NWS may have been detected in South Texas. The sample is now at USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, lowa for confirmatory testing. We will provide updates the moment results are available.
We have already activated personnel on the ground and are working with local partners.
What you can expect from us is transparency, candor, and most important — action.

Grateful for those who died defending our freedom which we cherish every day. It is what defines us as a nation. It is precious and does not come without cost.
I pray we never take their sacrifice nor the liberty they fought for granted on this and all Memorial Days.

The farm bill passed the House.
A few amendments that are included:
- Rep. Luna's bill to strip pesticide liability protections
- Save Our Bacon Act
- Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act
- Rep. Steube's provision stopping foreign adversaries from purchasing American farmland.
Obama has supported and campaigned for every outrageous Democratic gerrymander, including in Illinois.
But now he puts out a sanctimonious statement when the Supreme Court rightfully blocks racial discrimination in redistricting.
What a fraud.
