Max Armstrong shares that Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack made an announcement to spend $1 billion to help develop markets for farmers. Vilsack announced the investment for climate-smart investment projects. Vilsack told the Farm Progress Show audience that U.S. farmers can get to net zero farming without sacrificing production. The secretary says there’s a renaissance taking place in rural America.
