• Today, we’re taking next steps to distribute more assistance to farm loan borrowers facing financial risk. Through assistance provided by the Inflation Reduction Act, we are focusing on the long-term stability and success of borrowers so they can continue producing.
• This morning, I spoke with @leagueofcities about @USDA‘s work in communities nationwide. As a former mayor myself, I know how critical the partnership between city and federal governments is. @USDA is proud to partner with cities and towns nationwide.
• ICYMI: Last Monday, @VP and I announced $197 million for 100 Community Wildfire Defense Grants. Thanks to @POTUS’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we are investing in the safety and future of communities facing unprecedented wildfire risk.
