The American Soybean Association applauded U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins for announcing the “One Farmer, One File” Initiative at Commodity Classic in San Antonio, Texas. Streamlining digital services at USDA will increase efficiency and provide U.S. soybean farmers with additional flexibility in how they access USDA services.
“ASA applauds Secretary Rollins for the rollout of the ‘One Farmer, One File’ Initiative at our 30th annual Commodity Classic,” said ASA Vice President and Iowa farmer Dave Walton. “Farmers rely on USDA’s support and technical assistance more than ever, but we also know firsthand how time-consuming paperwork and duplicative reporting requirements can be. The efficiencies implemented through this initiative will help reduce that burden and save precious time that can be spent in the field.”
American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on USDA’s new “One Farmer, One File” initiative, which promises to streamline efforts to make its services more efficient for farmers and ranchers across the country.
“Farmers and ranchers rely on USDA for up-to-date resources to keep our businesses running and our food supply secure. Today’s announcement is welcome news to ensure farmers quickly receive the information and resources they need.
“At a time when farmers are facing a tough farm economy and rising pressures, we all count on USDA to deliver the programs and support that will keep our farms moving forward. Farmers and ranchers need to make every dollar and every minute count on the farm, and having an easier system to navigate USDA programs will free up farmers for the work of growing our nation’s food, fiber and fuel.”
The National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) today welcomed U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins’ announcement of the “One Farmer, One File” initiative. The initiative aims to create a single, streamlined digital record that follows farmers across USDA agencies and programs, reducing redundancy and improving efficiency.
“NAWG welcomes Secretary Rollins’ launch of the “One Farmer, One File” initiative. Farmers run complex family businesses and time is one the most precious commodities on their farm. USDA’s effort to create a single, streamlined record is welcome news that will save farmers time, better inform business decisions, and hopefully improve program delivery,” said NAWG CEO Sam Kieffer.
