Key provisions of the 2018 farm bill are set to expire at the end of the month, with many farmers facing a gap in federal support until President Trump’s proposed replacement bill takes effect late next year. The looming lapse comes as US farmers warn they are nearing a breaking point, squeezed by volatile weather, rising costs, and the lingering impact of Trump’s tariffs. CNN’s Boris Sanchez spoke with John Boyd Jr., founder and president of the National Black Farmers Association. #CNN #News
