The White House outlined on Monday how a potential government shutdown would hurt mothers and their children utilizing food assistance programs, farmers, and other rural residents.
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack joined White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at Monday's briefing, and he listed a few of the"needless challenges and disruptions" to the Department of Agriculture's programs should lawmakers fail to pass funding legislation by the end of the month.
He also said that, over the coming months, farmers across the country will apply for USDA-guaranteed marketing loans,"which allow them and assist them in ensuring they get a decent price for their crop." "When we have a shutdown, farm service agency offices in virtually every county of this country shut down, and those loans are not available. It's not just about farm loans. It's about newlyweds who have decided to purchase their first home in a rural, small town, and perhaps they're getting a loan guarantee from a bank that is guaranteed by USDA, or perhaps they're getting a direct loan from USDA to be able to purchase that home with a shutdown," Vilsack said.
