	Description:		*Sign Up To Receive Our FFA Stories Newsletter!* Email address: Defending American Agriculture I recently came across an article about that uses the current pandemic as a springboard to attack agriculture, specifically “factory farming”. In today’s episode I am defending American agriculture against this attack as well as agriculture in other first world countries. The author lumps agricultural practices in all countries under one umbrella. Whether or not she did this purposefully or by omission, she conflates livestock handling practices in places like China with those that we have in the United States. I wanted to address these arguments and point out the obvious omissions or ignorance of the author. You can find a link to the article I am citing here: “Reducing pandemic risk begins with ending factory farming” *Where Off-Farm Income And Matt Brechwald Can Be Heard:* Member Of The National Association Of Farm Broadcasters
