Michigan’s governor is calling on USDA to reduce food insecurity and enhance the dairy supply chain.
In a recent letter to Ag Secretary Vilsack, Gretchen Whitmer says COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on the food supply chain and with those struggling to secure enough food to eat.
Whitmer wants USDA to examine what she calls the SNAP benefits cliff, which makes families in the program ineligible for benefits after small increases in income, along with the Thrifty Food Plan.
