In a column published on Friday, soybean farmer Amanda Zaluckyj called the choice 'a literal middle finger to agriculture, which constituted a key piece of Trump's base.' She described Kennedy as 'an absolute danger' to the American farm industry, cautioning that he has suggested he would 'weaponize' regulatory agencies to eliminate the use of pesticides. This perspective reflects a growing concern among farmers regarding the potential implications for agricultural policy under his leadership.
Biotech analyst Dana O'Brien stated that Trump's 'embrace' of Kennedy poses 'a threat to American agriculture.' He characterized Kennedy's elevation as 'chilling,' asserting that it signifies a wholesale shift in politics and farm policy. Many agriculture experts are apprehensive that Kennedy's scientifically unfounded beliefs may influence or reshape U.S. farm and food policy in unexpected, detrimental ways.
