Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack announced the new Partnerships for Climate Smart Commodities program Wednesday, and met with farmers and grant recipients at a Wisconsin dairy farm Thursday.
Secretary Vilsack says USDA asked farmers and agriculture groups how to proceed and they responded. “The Food and Farm Alliance came to us and said if you’re going to do this, and we want you to do it, do it with pilots, take money from CCC (Commodity Credit Corporation).
