USDA is helping create an additional outlet for milk, cheese and butter by purchasing millions of dollars’ worth of dairy products for food banks and federal nutrition programs.
In a recent announcement, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins shared USDA’s plans to purchase up to $263 million in agricultural products through the department’s Section 32 authority under the Agriculture Act of 1935. Of that total, nearly $148 million is earmarked specifically for dairy products, including butter, cheese and milk.
“These staples are essential for feeding families and sustaining America’s agricultural economy,” Rollins says, emphasizing the purchases are designed to deliver real food to Americans while injecting dollars back into rural communities.
