Editor:

We need to know how our Congressional candidates feel about these programs being on the cutting block under Project 2025:

  1. the FSA (Farm Services Administration)
  2. the Risk Management Agency
  3. (Reorganize) the Crop Insurance Program
  4. eliminate Farm Subsidies Program
  5. the Price Loss Coverage Programs
  6. Rural Development,
  7. the World Business Cooperation Program
  8. the Agricultural Marketing Service
  9. the Agricultural Market Access Program
  10. the Market Access Service
  11. the Promote Free Trade in Ag program
  12. Various food access programs like school lunches and food stamps that buy farm products

Is any program perfect? No. But these surely have a major effect our local economy and we still have a right to know.
