Domestic Farm Groups Struggle to Advance America First Agricultural Policies

Agricultural producers across the nation are experiencing challenges converting the Trump administration’s America First philosophy into tangible policy changes that would boost consumption of domestically grown products.

Growers of fruits, vegetables, cotton and various other agricultural commodities have been pushing for the administration to transform its nationalist rhetoric into concrete incentives and regulatory measures that would favor American-produced crops over foreign alternatives.

However, these efforts to secure meaningful policy victories have largely fallen short of expectations, leaving many in the agricultural sector frustrated with the gap between campaign promises and actual implementation of pro-domestic farming initiatives.
