A government shutdown is looming and Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack says it hasn’t been easy to watch.
“You don’t want to take my blood pressure today, let’s put it that way.”
Secretary Vilsack tells Brownfield the people who administer USDA programs won’t be able to work and that’s a costly disruption for U.S. farmers and ranchers.
“If there’s a farmer seeking help with operating expenses, the ability to close those loans in the conversation stage is at risk,” says Vilsack.
