USDA Ends Program Supporting Future Farmers
A federal program designed to help the next generation of farmers is coming to an end. The USDA has shut down its “Increasing Land Access” program, impacting efforts to support new farmers. In Iowa, a local fellowship was canceled just weeks after launching. Nonprofit leaders say the agency is struggling to support even the programs that remain. The move is part of a broader trend of USDA program cuts over the past year.
