The National Agricultural Aviation Association (NAAA) is currently showcasing their equipment manufacturers, farmers, ranchers, and innovators focused on environmental impact at Ag on the Mall in Washington, D.C. The event, themed the Future of Food and Farming, features a Bell Jet Ranger Helicopter equipped with a liquid spray system for applying crop protection materials. Meanwhile, in response to outbreaks of bird flu in dairy cattle, the U.S. government is collecting ground beef samples from retail stores in affected states to ensure the safety of the meat supply. Despite both the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization stating that the overall public health risk is low, it is higher for those who have been exposed to infected animals.
