Nonilex#Trump is proposing a >$4.5B cut to the #Agriculture Dept, about a 17% trim from its #budget for fiscal year 2025. Programs facing the steepest cuts include #farm conservation programs & #rural development that the admin argues is redundant & #research that it characterizes as “woke.”
The budget includes a $15M increase for #food inspection, but interestingly does not include cuts to #FoodStamps —which will likely be a point of contention in #Congress.
