Michigan Cherry Farmers Face Multiple Challenges Impacting Harvest

Michigan's cherry farmers are having a tough time.

Bad weather like late frosts hurt the cherry trees, and it's hard to find enough workers because of visa delays.

Government policies such as trade wars and budget cuts are also causing problems, like making it harder to sell cherries and get help from the government.

Some farmers are worried about tariffs which would make it even tougher to make money.

Meanwhile, cherry exports are down, and research funding is slow to arrive.
