The Ag Net News Hour hosts, Lorrie Boyer, Nick Papagni, “The Ag Meter” and Josh McGill discuss the upcoming heatwave in California, with temperatures potentially reaching 103 degrees. The trio also explore President Trump's authority to impose global tariffs, noting a recent ruling by a three-judge panel of the US Court of International Trade that Trump lacks such authority under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The ruling requires the removal of tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, but does not affect tariffs on steel, aluminum, and imported automobiles. The Trump administration plans to appeal the decision. The panel expressed skepticism about the ruling's long-term impact. In this segment, Nick, Josh and Lorrie talk about the push by 365 agricultural groups for the Agricultural Labeling Uniformity Act to maintain federal control over pesticide labeling under the EPA. The bill, introduced in 2023 by Reps. Dusty Johnson and Jim Costa, aims to prevent states like California from imposing additional labeling requirements, citing the rigorous testing and strict standards of the EPA. The debate is linked to the recent MAHA report, which highlights environmental toxins, including chemicals used in agriculture. Concerns include the potential for state-specific regulations to disrupt the ag industry and the impact on crops like corn that rely on glyphosate The AgNet News Hour hosts, in the final segment of today's show, discuss the impact of tariffs on California's ports, noting that vessel cancellations have surpassed those during COVID-19. The Port of Los Angeles reported 17 cancellations in May, up from 12 last year. The conversation also touches on the broader economic implications, including the $84.4 billion in taxes contributed by port activities in 2023. The discussion emphasizes the need for long-term perspective and the potential for diversifying trade partners beyond China. The segment concludes with a fun fact about California's grape production, which is 4.9 million tons, valued at $5.6 billion.

The Ag Net News Hour hosts, Lorrie Boyer, Nick Papagni, “The Ag Meter” and Josh McGill discuss the New World Screw Worm, a flesh-eating maggot affecting cattle, bison, and horses near the U.S.-Mexico border. The U.S. has closed its border to these imports, funded a $21 million project in Mexico to use sterile flies to eradicate the worm, and faces criticism from Mexico for its impact on their cattle exports. The U.S. has historically funded these efforts, while Mexico has been uncooperative, limiting U.S. access to affected areas. The discussion also touches on the broader issues of cartel influence in Mexico and the impact on U.S.-Mexico trade relations, particularly in avocados and tomatoes.   In this segment, Nick, Lorrie and Josh talk about the California almond industry's high quality and global demand, the challenges of freight and insurance costs, and the state's outdated ban on autonomous agricultural equipment from the 1970s. The ban, which requires operators in tractors, conflicts with the need for autonomous vehicles due to labor shortages. The right-to-repair concerns and the evolution of autonomous technology since the 1940s were highlighted. Despite California's tech-forward reputation, outdated regulations hinder innovation.   The Almond Board of California's Associate Director of Industry Relations and Communications, Jenny Nicolau, discuss the annual California State FFA conference in Sacramento, where they interviewed and awarded $29,000 in scholarships to 11 students through the Almond Leadership Program, totaling $350,000 since inception. The funds are raised through silent auctions and golf tournaments. The conference will be held December 10-12. Additionally, the discussion touches on the resurgence of fig farming in California due to its drought tolerance and marketing efforts, and the growing interest in Agave crops for tequila and mezcal production.
