The trove of studies by USDA researchers carry warnings about climate change that the government is largely not communicating to farmers and ranchers or the public

its plan to study the issue. The matter is increasingly urgent for farmers and ranchers dealing with erratic and extreme weather.. The list published includes research showing that climate change is likely to drive down yields for some crops, harm milk production, and lead to a drop in nutrient density for key crops like rice and wheat.

The Michigan Democrat called it “outrageous” that “critical information for communities, for farmers, for those of us who care deeply about what’s happening to agriculture, these are not being shared with the people who need to know but they are being paid for by them, as taxpayers.” “We have repeatedly provided the Senate Agriculture Committee with evidence to the contrary, and the department has been transparent and communicative to the committee in response to their questions on research," the spokesperson said, in an email. "The list of studies linked in the report were provided by the USDA to the committee and are all publicly available."

In their report, Senate Democrats allege that the Trump administration has repeatedly gone out of its way to undermine climate science.
