CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — At the West Virginia Capitol Thursday, local food providers and farmers expressed concerns over federal changes in the USDA at Local Food and Farms Day.
Earlier this month, the USDA announced cuts to two programs – one supporting partnerships with local farmers and schools and the other supporting partnerships with local farmers and food banks.
Attendees of Local Food and Farms Day are looking to work with local legislators to find solutions to these cuts and to maintain the food economy of the state.
