The USDA is investing $74 million to help diversify food production and improve access to clean water in rural Iowa.
Xochitl Torres Small is the USDA’s Under Secretary for Rural Development.
“Rural America has risen to the challenge to produce food as efficiently as possible with the same land making more crops so that they can feed the country, but they haven’t necessarily seen the benefit from that,” she said Wednesday at an event in Pella, Iowa.
