Farmers who participated in our D.C. fly-in were interviewed by Hearst TV about Trump’s new tariff threats. The news segment was broadcast by dozens of Hearst’s local news affiliates. Sarah Lloyd, Travis Anderson, and Patti Naylor each spoke to reporter Jackie DeFusco about their concerns on the impacts from the proposed tariffs.

“We’re losing the backbone of our rural economy, and it’s very dangerous,” said Sarah Lloyd, a former Wisconsin dairy farmer who was forced to sell her cows last spring. “I think that any uncertainty is just going to cause more people to say, you know what? We’re going to get out now before we go off the cliff.”
