Oklahoma Farmers Concerned With Cuts To Agriculture Department

Some Oklahoma ranchers and farmers say they're worried about President Donald Trump's plan to cut the U.S. Department of Agriculture's budget by more than $4 billion.

The White House said despite the proposed cuts the president supports economic development in rural America.

Larry Hicks has been farming and ranching in Love County for nearly 60 years; he said he's worried about the administration's relations with other countries, mainly Mexico.

"We ship a lot of wheat, and corn and other products by rail right straight into old Mexico," Hicks said.

Mr. Trump signed an executive order last month, which established a task force to learn more about the obstacles farmers and ranchers face.
