U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown says there is a need to reform federal farm programs and target USDA programs to farmers and practices that need it most.
In a video message during the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association Annual Conference, Brown said he’s discussed several of these issues with US Ag Secretary nominee Tom Vilsack.
“First, refocusing USDA programs to help new and beginning farmers access the capital they need to thrive,” he says.
