Cherry farmers in Michigan are confronting a multitude of challenges as bad weather, disease, and trade issues threaten their livelihoods. The federal safety net designed to support them is becoming increasingly precarious, leading to concerns over the long-term viability of the cherry sector. Alongside these agricultural hurdles, immigration enforcement changes have added a layer of uncertainty to the season. Meanwhile, local nonprofits in Southeast Michigan are working to promote physical activity through sports showcases, highlighting community resilience in the face of these agricultural difficulties.
