Trump Targets Canadian Dairy Industry

 
Canada's dairy industry was targeted by U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday during a speech made to factory workers in Wisconsin.
 
Trump singled out Canada's dairy supply management system, which he says hinders U.S. farmers.
 
Dairy producers in Wisconsin and New York have been lobbying the U.S. government for action after Canada recently decided to impose import taxes on ultra-filtered milk, which is a liquid concentrate used to make cheese. The milk had been duty-free since NAFTA was introduced in 1994, but the Canadian government changed the rules after hearing complaints about prices from dairy farmers in Ontario.

Video: Building a Responsible, Resilient Pork Supply Chain

From farm to fork, today’s food supply chain depends on a transparent, resilient and responsible pork supply chain. The We Care® platform and the Pork Cares Farm Impact Report are designed to support what the food industry supply chain expects from its pork partners: strong animal care, food safety, worker safety, environmental stewardship and sustainability. These programs also help build and maintain trust in the communities where pigs are raised.
