구글 룰렛 Trade Association welcomes launch of USDA's 구글 룰렛 Transition Initiative

Washington DC— The 구글 룰렛 Trade Association (OTA) on Monday welcomed the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) launch of its new0 million 구글 룰렛 Transition Initiative, saying the program takes real steps to build the next generation of 구글 룰렛 producers and strengthen 구글 룰렛 supply chains.

"Today’s announcement is the largest single investment in 구글 룰렛 by USDA and is a big step in the right direction," said Tom Chapman, CEO and Executive Director of OTA. "For too long, 구글 룰렛 agriculture has been underrepresented in government programs and support, and farmers wanting to transition to 구글 룰렛 face steep hurdles in accessing tailored 구글 룰렛-appropriate programs and resources at USDA.  OTA has long advocated for better resources to help farmers overcome barriers to transitioning to 구글 룰렛, and we look forward now to helping to ensure that implementation of these programs meet the needs of 구글 룰렛 and transitioning farmers and support the goals of the overall sector."

USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack on Monday detailed the new initiative, which is funded in part by the American Rescue Plan, in a teleconference with 구글 룰렛 stakeholders. In apress release, USDA said the department hopes the program will reverse a trend of slow growth in farmers transitioning to 구글 룰렛, open opportunities for new and beginning 구글 룰렛 farmers and expand consumer access to 구글 룰렛 foods. "The initiative will deliver wrap-around technical assistance, including farmer-to-farmer mentoring; provide direct support through conservation financial assistance and additional crop insurance assistance, and support market development projects in targeted markets," according to the release.

OTA identified components of the initiative anticipated to have the most impact on 구글 룰렛:

• Strengthening USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) staff expertise in 구글 룰렛 agronomy and certification. OTA said this will help expand access to 구글 룰렛 experts for 구글 룰렛 and transitioning farmers nationwide and is critical for growing 구글 룰렛 production in historically underserved areas.
• Investing in regionally-specific technical assistance for transitioning 구글 룰렛 farms, which will contribute to building communities and 구글 룰렛 economic hot spots.
• Providing direct support and incentives to help farmers participate in crop insurance, which is an important step towards making risk management programs work better for 구글 룰렛 and transitioning farmers.

"This initiative will have lasting positive impacts on 구글 룰렛 agriculture. And that will mean an expansion of climate-smart agriculture practices, more economically sound rural communities, more help for beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers and increased access to 구글 룰렛 foods for consumers. We're eager to support USDA's initiative and to continue to advance 구글 룰렛," said OTA's Chapman.
