Climate takes its toll on the ‘cherry capital of the world’

Summary
Nutrition label

82% Informative

Michigan produces one-fifth of the nation’s sweet cherries and about 75 percent of its tart cherries.

An unusually mild winter followed by a warm, wet spring marked by torrential rain left a lot of the fruit rotting on the trees.

Disease like brown rot diminished the quality of several varieties, and the size of the harvest.

Trump has a history of trying to slash funding for crop insurance and other farm safety nets.

Project 2025 , a sweeping conservative policy blueprint, calls for cutting crop insurance subsidies, eliminating land conservation incentives.

Small farmers in particular have long struggled to access afford costly crop insurance premiums, and experienced similar issues with eligibility and coverage.
