US Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack has voiced commitment to making USDA programs and US agriculture more inclusive.
“We can do this as a single community, not as a divided community where we are pinning one against the other but recognizing that every single farm regardless of size has a role and an opportunity in all of this. We can create an understanding of unity here that I think our country is desperately in need of.”
During a “Free Range Conversation” hosted by American Farmland Trust Vilsack says local markets need to be enhanced to help small and mid-sized farms.
