#USDA freezes #farmer #funding

The US Dept of #Agriculture has frozen some funding for farmers as it goes through a sweeping review, despite assurances from the #Trump admin that programs helping farmers would not be affected in the govt overhaul.

The impact has been immediate & wide-ranging, from cash assistance for #ranchers to fix #cattle watering systems to help for #corn growers wanting to plant cover crops that curb wind #erosion.
