Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says there are thousands of rural families on the brink of financial disaster.
Vilsack testified before the Senate Ag Appropriations Committee Tuesday and said USDA has struggling customers in many states. “24,673 farm families that are either delinquent in their loans to USDA, are bankrupt or are pending foreclosure. This is a serious issue.”
Vilsack told the subcommittee it’s important to put a spotlight on the challenges faced in rural America.
