Those of us who call rural America home know that there’s more to the rural economy than just farms and ranches. From bio-based products to rural manufacturing, the potential to grow and make innovative products in rural America is limitless. Most rural businesses are small ones -- and they support one in three jobs in rural America. Our loans and grants are helping those businesses thrive -- supporting reliable services like water, housing and broadband to make these same communities attract and retain a talented workforce. Collectively, these investments support the businesses and families that call America’s rural areas “home.” That s because we know that the better we equip those communities with the resources they need to succeed, the stronger our entire country s economy will be as a result.
I m proud to report that the Department of Agriculture did several really important things to help rural communities across the country this week. Here s a run down on what we ve been up to. Take a look, and if you learned something new -- pass it on.
