well, take these numbers with a grain of salt, but the official figure from the usda is that 50% of crop workers in the united states are undocumented. but experts say that's probably higher in california and 70% is a better estimate. so when donald trump came to meet with farmers in the central valley last spring, they raised this issue with him. and what he told them was, yes, there's going to be a border wall but there's going to be a door in that wall. a lot of those farmers voted for him. so they're basically trusting that he's going to make good on that promise. >> do you think that trust is still in place now, 100 days into the administration? >> there's just a tremendous amount of uncertainty. i think some people are more hopeful than others. farm workers certainly are extremely frightened. >> there's been a fear that raids of farms will happen. are you seeing any evidence of that? >> there are always rumors among farm workers. but neither advocacy groups nor farmers have actually reported any raids up till now. what i have heard is that individual workers have been picked up. so

secretary perdue is taking the helm of an agency with a key role in mitigating those very effects. usda provides farmers, foresters, commodities markets and state and local officials with analysis of trends in emerging issues affecting agriculture, food supply, the environment and rural communities. in its own climate change adaptation plan, the department notes, and i quote, climate change has the potential to confound usda efforts to meet its core obligations and responsibilities to the nation. now during his tenure as governor, secretary perdue issued a state energy strategy saying that, and i quote him here, strong evidence exists that increasing emissions of carbon dioxide and other gases are affecting earth's climate. encouraging. but when i asked as a trump nominee, by senator leahy about climate change during the secretary's confirmation process, he backpedaled and said it is clear that the climate has been changing, but there is significant debate within the scientific community on whether human activities play a role in that. whoops, that's the classic denier dodge. and it's j

those have gone through 10-15 years of testing before approved by the epa and usda. great. but there is not one conventional variety of a crop. new varieties, new things made conventionally. there is a lot which kwlou you buy in the grocery store that is going through no regulatory. and an example, in my lab and this is the irony. in two weeks i would engineer a hypoallergenic peanut. people have done this. that is going to go through 10-15 years of testing before it is approved if it ever is. in another part of my laboratory, i could use classical breeding to breed a peanut with ten times the concentration of allergen in the seed and i could give it to the farmers without any regulation. that is where the system is sort of screwed up to a certain extent. in the panels i have been on in the national academy says you have are thinking about the final project and whether it is safe with respect to allergens and toxicity and we should focus on the product and now how it is made. >> i think from the consumer's point of view, i think a lot of the opposition i hear that point, kin
