A rapid-fire array of directives by the Trump administration have left farmers and businesses in rural America reeling.

The White House had repeatedly said the funding freeze would not affect benefits that go directly to individuals.

Reuters’ P.J. Huffstutter and Leah Douglas reported Saturday that “the U.S. Department of Agriculture has frozen some funding for farmers as it goes through a sweeping review, despite assurances from the Trump administration that programs helping farmers would not be affected.

Missouri famers are sharing how USDA funding freezes are impacting their business. There has also been online talk that the freeze is tied to Project 2025.
