The Trump administration is deliberately attempting to destroy the Department of Agriculture, since the research they conduct accepts the reality of climate change and creates plans to help farmers deal with it. Rachel Maddow reported the administration recently required all employees of the Department of Agriculture to move to Kansas City in 30 days, or resign.

Spray is to the left of me and spray is to the right...very few bees or lightning bugs.

Honey bees started to reappear around here a few years ago. Then, they mysteriously disappeared. I think it may have something to do with the 'Roundup' brand weed-killer they use in these parts.

The current US Administration’s ignorance of the science of the ecosystem is frightening. Whether it will be reversible after they are out of office ( I would add, pray God if I was a believer!), is debatable. When species like bees become extinct we are doomed to extinction too.

The article cites the USDA having to pay farmer subsidies in response to the trade war as a contributing budget constraint.

There really is no polite words for this administration and there narrow mindness

Maybe this is the orange one's way of paying for his wall and parade.
