The US Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rolllins has released the first set of policy proposals under her Make Agriculture Great Again Initiative. The goal of these proposals is to improve the longevity and viability of small-scale family farms, outlining a toolkit of actions which includes Ensure Simple Streamlined and Transparent Tools and Applications; Ensure Reliable Access to Credit; Ensure Working Farmland is Used to Farm; Ensure Small Farms Can Be Passed On to the Next Generation for Generations to Come; Hyperfocus USDA Programs for Farmers on Farmers; Labor Reform; Enhance Access to Risk Management and Business Planning Tools; Ensure Definitions of Farm Size Reflect Modern Day Realities; Enhance Farmer Access to Educational Resources; Other Small Farm Resources Available. Secretary Rollins said, “America’s family farms help feed, fuel, and clothe the world, but they also face some of the greatest challenges in getting their farms started and keeping them running. Putting Farmers First means addressing the issues farmers face head-on and fostering an economic environment that doesn’t put up roadblocks on business creation but removes them. Today’s policy agenda is tailored specifically to support small-scale farms to thrive for generations to come. President Trump knows America’s economic prosperity depends on the success of our farmers and ranchers. That is why we are working to ensure those who want to start and keep their own farms for generations to come are able to.”
