Max Armstrong shares a recent response by American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall to a New York Times video. However the news organization would not accept his essay in response to what Duvall says is a misleading portrayal of agriculture. He has turned to using his own platform to share the story of agriculture including climate smart farming and other innovations.

Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
