Two weeks ago I posted “STOP WORK NOW!” to alert you that funds for Inflation Reduction Act-related contracts were frozen. Last week I provided some history of how the government supports farmers and ranchers in the critical work they do. This week I have an update on frozen funding, what is happening to an additional $850 million in NRCS contracts and $3.1 billion in climate-smart funding for producers, and how you might be affected by recent staff losses. John Marble shares his take on handshakes, contracts, and treaties as part of a grazing operation. Last, we learn what is at stake when we lose staff working for public land management agencies.
I even manage to throw in some hopeful news.
This isn’t the kind of writing I intended to do when I started On Pasture. But I just want to make sure you have the information you need to be successful in your businesses.
Thanks for reading!
Kathy
