Welcome to the United States Department of Agriculture’s new blog, a place where visitors can get the latest news on the work we are doing. Whether we are providing nutrition assistance, maintaining an appropriate safety net for America’s farmers and ranchers, mitigating effects of climate change, conserving our land, managing our forests, or assisting in the creation of renewable energy sources, USDA is an Every Day, Every Way department that touches the lives of every American, every day. So, we have a lot to report.
We will make regular posts but we hope you will add your comments, feedback, ideas, and suggestions. We hope that the USDA Blog will become a forum for dialogue between USDA and the customers we serve – the American people. Talk to you again soon.
Secretary Tom Vilsack
