Klobuchar Statement on the President’s 2027 USDA Budget

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, released the statement below following the President's 2027 USDA budget request.

"The President's proposed budget for the USDA falls far short of what rural Americans need right now - it cuts nearly one-fifth of USDA's entire budget at a time when our farmers are already struggling. This budget would slash funding to rural small towns, jeopardize agricultural research, and eliminate international food aid that purchases products grown and produced by American farmers. If that wasn't enough, the White House is moving forward with a reorganization of the Department that will reduce the quality of services for producers in the middle of this difficult farm economy."
