• With @POTUS’ leadership, @USDA is creating a resilient, sustainable and competitive agricultural economy, which allows farmers to continue doing what they do best by growing food for the rest of the world.
• Through a farmer-focused commitment, we will continue to build on our efforts to lower costs, bring made-in-America jobs to rural communities, and strengthen the agricultural supply chain and market opportunities to the benefit of producers.
• Under @POTUS’ leadership, @USDA is announcing $52.6M in awards under the Fertilizer Production Expansion Program to fund 17 new projects to boost domestic fertilizer manufacturing, support innovative fertilizer technologies, & help lower costs for farmers.
• This morning, I spoke at @FIL_IDF’s annual World Dairy Summit in Chicago to highlight @USDA’s ongoing efforts to support small & mid-sized dairy producers, promote rural prosperity, strengthen sustainability efforts, and promote trade opportunities for dairy producers nationwide.
