Organic farmers left on the hook for Millions due to fascist puppet's illegal freeze [View all]
https://www.eenews.net/articles/usda-pauses-2-organic-programs-leaving-farmers-on-the-hook-for-millions/Federal officials are continuing to withhold money for a pair of major organic agriculture programs that make payments directly to farmers, according to three people familiar with the matter, jeopardizing millions of dollars in crucial funding just ahead of planting season.
The pause on the $85 million Organic Market Development Grant program and the $100 million Transition to the Organic Partnership Program has jolted farmers, nonprofits and businesses struggling to make planting and hiring decisions. Even if the pause on funding is lifted, it could put farmers out of business.

Officials have also not released funds for the $3.1 billion Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities program.
