USDA Celebrates 2020 Accomplishments

Earlier this week, the USDA celebrated their accomplishments of 2020.

FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce stated, “We partner with agricultural producers to grow and expand their operations as well as weather the unpredictable, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters.”

USDA’s farm program agencies – the Farm Service Agency, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Risk Management Agency, and Farm Production and Conservation Business Center worked to deliver programs to assist producers while also making strides to enhance efficiency and effectiveness to improve service to customers.

USDA Undersecretary Bill Northey said, “We continue to admire and support the resiliency of farmers and ranchers during challenging times.”

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue added the year was tough, but “USDA met these challenges with a multitude of programs and services.”
