What concerns do farmers have about the dismantling of USAID funding?

Farmers in the district are deeply concerned about the dismantling of USAID and other funding sources they rely upon. According to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, this financial disruption poses a significant threat to family farms across rural America. The primary worry is that without these crucial financial supports, family farmers may lose their properties, which could then be acquired by large corporate organizations. This represents not just an economic challenge but a fundamental shift in agricultural ownership that could permanently alter the landscape of rural farming communities.
