Sonny Perdue has emerged as President Trump's key evangelist in bruising trade wars

Struggling
dairy farmers who flocked to an expo in Wisconsin last month hoped to
hear some encouragement from one of their own — Agriculture Secretary
Sonny Perdue, a Georgia agri-businessman whose dad had run a small farm.But

nearly two dairy farms a day last year — remarked that small farms would
not likely survive as the “big get bigger and small go out.”
