- The Biden-Harris Administration is ensuring essential ag & food workers are not excluded from opportunities for relief. Today’s recipients will provide payments to workers across the country who kept food moving to our families during the darkest days of the pandemic.
- Today, @USDA is taking an important step in our commitment to farm, meatpacking, & grocery store workers by recognizing the pivotal role they play in our food system. 15 recipients will receive funding through the Farm & Food Workers Relief Grant Program. https://ams.usda.gov/press-release/usda-announces-15-organizations-will-administer-farm-and-food-workers-relief-grant.
- Our @USDA_ARS team is proud to announce its newest research facility in Georgia. The lab allows Southeast Poultry Research Laboratory staff to increase their ability to respond to highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreaks & other infectious diseases.
