The American agricultural industry as a whole is in big trouble. Mistakes made by a previous administration are still being felt, and are compounding with mistakes made by the current administration to hurt America’s farmers even more.

Missouri cattle producer Skylar Holden posted a series of videos on TikTok, saying he had signed a contract with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service for $240,000 for improved water lines, fences and a well.
But USDA officials called him recently to tell him his contract with NRCS’s Environmental Quality Incentives Program, or EQIP, was frozen, he said. It’s not clear when the funds will be released, Holden said in his video
“I’ve already done a bunch of the work, already paid for the material and the labor, so I’m out all that cost,” Holden said in one video, adding, “We are possibly going to lose our farm if NRCS doesn’t hold up their contract with us.”
