“The reality is most people in America work in and with small business. …That most of the work of building and supporting the economy is done by small business owners. During the pandemic…it was small business that kept us afloat.”
USDA is working to ensure “a portion of the $8 billion in USDA expenditures can be identified and directed to small businesses.
… It’s our job to work with you (small business owners) to simplify the process.”
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack
