AFBF Statement on Abrupt Cancellation of Important Food Program

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 07:56:06 CDT

AFBF Statement on Abrupt Cancellation of Important Food Program American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented on USDA's decision to end the Farmers to Families Food Box program.

"AFBF was surprised to learn of Secretary Vilsack's decision to end the Farmers to Families Food Box program. The pandemic had a devastating effect on farmers, ranchers and families across the country when schools, cafeterias and restaurants shut down. More than 150 million food boxes were produced and helped America's families suffering from the hardships caused by COVID-19. The need is still there.

"America's farmers and ranchers feed the world and we believe no one should go hungry. We look forward to continue working with Secretary Vilsack and learn how USDA plans to address the heightened need at food banks while providing a destination for the fresh, healthy food being produced by farm families across the country."
