Secretary Rollins said, “If our farmers and ranchers do not have the tools and resources to continue to farm, then we cannot feed ourselves.“
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced a $152 million investment into 19 rural development projects in the state of Iowa. The USDA did not disclose which projects are receiving this funding, nor which grant program is distributing the funding, but promised in its press release that the projects “will boost Iowa’s economy, develop rural infrastructure, and encourage private investment in America’s heartland.”
Secretary Brooke Rollins said, “At USDA, we are proud to fund these historic levels of rural investment and remain committed to working with other federal, state and local government as well as the private sector, to advance President Trump’s vision for rural America. Rural prosperity is truly a national security issue. If our farmers and ranchers do not have the tools and resources to continue to farm, then we cannot feed ourselves. President Trump understands how important it is to have a safe, secure, and resilient farm economy.”
“I want to thank [USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins] and President Trump for putting our farmers first, and for investing $152 million to develop Iowa’s rural communities. During this time of uncertainty in the ag economy, I’m so grateful to have a partner we can rely on,” said Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Secretary Rollins to be discerning as she oversees investments into U.S. farming and agriculture.
- For Governor Reynolds to be prudent in the management of farm project funds.
