WASHINGTON, Feb. 17, 2021 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reminds rural communities, farmers and ranchers, families and small businesses affected by the recent winter storms that USDA has programs that provide assistance. USDA staff in the regional, state and county offices are prepared with a variety of program flexibilities and other assistance to residents, agricultural producers and impacted communities.
My heart goes out to those who are struggling right now. I've heard that things are terrible in parts of Texas due to winter weather. No one needs to deal with storms on top of the pandemic woes. It's good to hear that help is on the way.
