@SecVilsack
- @USDA is investing in the highly concentrated meat and poultry processing sector to create more market opportunities and fairer prices for farmers. Our efforts embody @POTUS’s plan to build our economy from the bottom up and middle out to reach Americans where they are.

USDA and Social Security Administration Collaborate to Improve Nutrition Security through SNAP
@SecVilsack
- There is overwhelming evidence that food impacts health. I was fortunate to join the @MilkenInstitute to talk about efforts @USDA is taking to connect folks to programs that prioritize the role of nutrition and food security in overall health.
- It was good to join @NatlAssnAttysGn at their Capital Forum Conference in Washington, D.C. this morning. @USDA will remain a steadfast partner to AGs across the country in tackling anticompetitive practices in the ag sector and protecting Americans from unfair practices.
@FrankYiannas
- IDFA, I should be the one thanking YOU & your MEMBERS for all that you’ve done during challenging times to ensure consumers nationwide continue to have access to safe & nutritious foods. Well done. @dairyidfa #collaboration
