Travis Entenman reports:
This funding pause is preventing tens of millions of dollars from being spent in South Dakota. In 2022, Congress invested nearly $20 billion into USDA’s voluntary, incentive-based, private lands conservation programs at NRCS nationwide. The funding began to hit the ground in 2023, and since then, over $29 million have been promised to South Dakotan producers, allowing farmers and ranchers to adopt conservation practices on over 600,000 acres.
Many of these producers have already spent thousands of dollars of their own money to implement practices like planting cover crops, implementing rotational grazing and installing new irrigation systems — all with the understanding that they would be reimbursed in a timely manner, as usual. USDA’s freeze means that many of those farmers are now in limbo, hoping they will receive the reimbursement they are contractually owed. [evidence of Musk/Trump cruelty emphasized]
