    More cuts could be in store for agency that helps farmers protect the environment

    The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) faces potential budget cuts under the Trump administration, threatening its ability to support farmers like River Queen Greens who use cover crops to improve soil health. The USDA's proposed budget would eliminate $700 million in technical assistance, reducing staff by 3,000 nationwide, including a drastic cut in Louisiana from 37 to five full-time employees. Over 500 farmers have urged Congress and the administration to prioritize NRCS staffing.
