Farm Bureau Welcomes USDA’s Streamlined Efforts

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on USDA’s new “One Farmer, One File” initiative, which promises to streamline efforts to make its services more efficient for farmers and ranchers across the country.

“Farmers and ranchers rely on USDA for up-to-date resources to keep our businesses running and our food supply secure. Today’s announcement is welcome news to ensure farmers quickly receive the information and resources they need.

“At a time when farmers are facing a tough farm economy and rising pressures, we all count on USDA to deliver the programs and support that will keep our farms moving forward. Farmers and ranchers need to make every dollar and every minute count on the farm, and having an easier system to navigate USDA programs will free up farmers for the work of growing our nation’s food, fiber and fuel.”
