It's the best thing we could do for farmers
This month the United States Department of Agriculture announced an “historic investment” that will go towards “supporting [the] entire local food supply chain.” The USDA is blessed with an ample amount of time and a great deal of money, which means it must forever be inventing new ways to spend the billions and billions of dollars allocated to it every year; thus Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack offering the investment in order to “give farms and ranches more market opportunities, provide consumers with more choices, and create jobs in both rural and urban communities.”
