From the kitchen table to the boardroom table, USDA brings people together across the nation for: healthier food, natural resources, and people; a stronger agricultural industry; and economic growth, jobs, and innovation. Each Friday, meet those farmers, producers, and landowners through our#FridaysOnTheFarm stories. Visit local farms, ranches, forests, and resource areas where USDA customers and partnersdo right and feed everyone.
