Ag secretary Sonny Perdue says workers throughout the food

supply chain have risen to the challenge of keeping America fed during the

coronavirus outbreak.

In a video message Tuesday, Perdue gave a shout out to what

he calls “everyday heroes” including shelf stockers, truck drivers, food service

and school lunch workers, USDA food safety inspectors and farmers.

“America’s farmers and ranchers and those on the front line in the food service industry are doing their part and we are forever grateful.”

Perdue says the nation’s food supply chains remain strong.
