Another View: There is a path for Trump to earn farmers’ support

Every morning over buckwheat pancakes and sausage, my father and grandfather would decide which fields to work that day and share an update about their cattle. Then, inevitably, the talk would move on to the low price of milk and the government’s part in it.

This sentiment has existed in American agriculture for more than three decades, especially on dairy farms like the one in New York State where I grew up.
