Jan 2, 2021
In mid-December, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue released a detailed assessment of his department’s accomplishments in 2020.
“While this was a tough year with the coronavirus, historic wildfires and weather damage, USDA met these challenges with a multitude of programs and services to support Americans and keep our agricultural sector running and responsive to the country’s needs,” Perdue said.
The USDA stayed focused on assisting, strengthening and promoting American agriculture. It also developed and operated an array of initiatives designed to help our nation respond to the pandemic.
