NC farmer adjusts to challenges after USDA cuts that impacts food banks, schools: 'In disbelief'
Fourth-generation farmer Patrick Brown is one of many farmers affected by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) cuts. The federal government has ended two programs that provided food to
schools and food banks by buying it from local farmers.
"The way this may impact my farm season is getting crops in the ground later. We already have to deal with Mother Nature so that's going to be unpredictable," said Brown. "It's not positive. Moreso, what are we going to do now? Just in disbelief."
