TRADE DISPUTE PORK FOR SCHOOLS

Posted on September 04, 2019 by The VRG Blog Editor

According to the (Pennsylvania) Altoona Mirror, http://www.altoonamirror.com/news/local-news/2019/08/side-benefit-trade-dispute-means-more-free-food-for-schools/ “This fall, U.S. school cafeterias are expecting shipments of free food courtesy of Trump’s trade disputes. The products are coming from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is giving away the $1.2 billion in food it’s buying to help farmers hurt by trade disputes.”

Expected at the Pennsylvania schools are truckloads of sliced ham, pulled pork, and Pork Picnic for further processing into pork patties. The PA State Department of Agriculture will be distributing the products.
