Minnesota bird flu, wolf tracking programs clouded in uncertainty amid Trump’s federal funding freeze
From CBSNews.com:
Minnesota farmers say they are in a valley of uncertainty amid the layoffs and cost-cutting measures of the first few weeks of President Trump’s second term.
“It’s really … a day-to-day, hour-to-hour situation,” Minnesota Department of Agriculture commissioner Thom Peterson said.
Peterson says some programs and initiatives designed to help farmers are now in doubt. He also added that there are freezes on grants for research initiatives. He cited that some research funding that goes to the University of Minnesota, for example, is done.
