I made a joke about this in a German community and yet here we are. Satire is dead, murdered by the imbeciles in the Trump administration.

From what I know it's mostly the trucks transporting between farms. They're not being cleaned frequently enough or well enough. Though, there is I think some cases of it being transmitted in migrating wildlife.
