As the granddaughter of farm workers, my life was made possible through hard work in the fields. On Farmworker Appreciation Day and every day, I’m grateful to the unsung heroes whose challenging work feeds and nourishes our communities.

It’s National Farmers Market Week and Dept. of Agriculture is recognizing the crucial role farmers markets play in our food system. Farmers markets connect producers and consumers through fresh, locally grown produce and support the health and well-being of our communities.

The Biden-Harris Administration is proud to partner with rural communities to create good-paying jobs, lower energy costs for consumers, and strengthen our nation’s electric grid. usda.gov/media/press-re…

This week, we’re marking the 2nd anniversary of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act. This transformative law is delivering historic resources and bringing opportunity to communities nationwide, especially in rural and underserved areas.

The Inflation Reduction Act has ushered in a new era by lowering energy costs for Americans, generating new income for farmers and foresters, and creating jobs alongside a clean energy future.

It was an honor to speak at the ACEethanol Annual Biofuels Conference in Omaha. With the Biden-Harris Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, we’re: ✅ Strengthening America’s energy independence ✅ Lowering the cost of gas ✅ Creating new economic opportunity for farmers

It’s not a stop in Minnesota without swinging by the local corner store. The Biden-Harris Administration is equipping gas stations across the country, like this one, with new infrastructure to offer cheaper, cleaner biofuel options at the pump.

This law is already transforming lives in rural communities, too. See here for all the ways Dept. of Agriculture is delivering on the Inflation Reduction Act: usda.gov/media/press-re…
