Panelists \u2013 who called on USDA to end the freeze and release funding on all signed contracts \u2013 included farmers from North Carolina, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and California who shared stories of how the ongoing federal funding freeze \u2013 in addition to significant layoffs at USDA \u2013 has created challenging and often dire circumstances for farmers and communities from coast to coast, threatening farm viability and livelihoods."}
