THE USDA unveiled Monday, April 13, a one-stop-shop of federal programs for rural communities, organizations and individuals impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic called The Covid-19 Federal Rural Resource Guide. The guide is a first-of-its-kind resource for rural leaders looking for federal funding and partnership opportunities to help address the pandemic.
“This resource guide will help our rural leaders, whether they are in agriculture, education, health care or any other leadership capacity, understand what federal assistance is available for their communities during this unprecedented time,” Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Purdue said.
More information on USDA actions to assist farmers, ranchers, producers, rural communities, and rural-based businesses and organizations impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic can be found on its website.
