The U.S. Department of Agriculture is an Every Day, Every Way Department - and our Recovery Act programs » reflect that wide variety of ways our programs touch the lives of the American people.

The Recovery Act provided USDA with nearly $28 billion in funding, which in turn represents nearly $52 billion in program funding through a host of guaranteed loan programs. USDA will provide funding to ensure that farmers continue to contribute to local economies, take steps to build and preserve critical infrastructure in communities across America and implement new resource conservation measures.
