**Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack announced several major developments at USDA, including domestic fertilizer expansion, investments in meat processing, programs for disaster and pandemic assistance, and improved risk protection for underserved farmers.

Vilsack tells www.agriculture.com, working together, we can ensure American agriculture is as resilient as ever by implementing a holistic approach to emergency assistance, by lowering input costs through investments in domestic fertilizer production, and by promoting competition in agricultural markets.

**Senator Chuck Grassley announced he intends to reintroduce the Farm Credit for Americans Act that bans the federal government from allowing foreign individuals to obtain credit and financial services through the Farm Credit System.

Specifically, the legislation prevents the Farm Credit Administration from underwriting foreign buyers seeking to purchase U.S. farmland.

It would amend the 1971 Act to ensure foreign nationals can’t obtain financing through federal government-backed financial institutions to purchase American farmland.
