The effort provides assistance to farmers, ranchers, and small businesses for redress and to ensure fair enforcement of regulations.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced a partnership with the Small Business Administration (SBA) this month to prevent the weaponization of federal regulations and enforcement actions against farmers, ranchers, and agricultural producers.
“Producers and ranchers who feed this nation should never face the full power of government alone,” said USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins. “This partnership with the SBA creates clear pathways for redress, ensures fairness in enforcement, and demonstrates that Washington stands with, not against, the hardworking Americans who sustain our country. Through the USDA Lawfare Portal and interagency collaboration, we are delivering real protection under the Farmer and Rancher Freedom Framework.”
“Farmers and ranchers do some of the hardest and most essential work in America, yet they have faced a growing burden from costly federal regulations – crushing generational businesses that lack the time, money, or legal resources to fight back,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler. “With our [Memorandum of Understanding], the SBA and USDA now offer America’s producers a direct line to report lawfare, with a new infrastructure to deliver lasting regulatory reform.”
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Rollins to be prudent in her oversight of the USDA and all of its agencies.
- For Administrator Loeffler to be discerning as she heads the Small Business Administration.
- For the nation’s farmers, ranchers, and producers to receive the help they need to comply with federal regulations.
