'Why us, why now?': Farmers paying stiff price as Trump's USDA cuts slam food banks and schools

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is among the many federal government agencies being targeted for mass layoffs by the Trump Administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by billionaire SpaceX/Tesla/X.com leader Elon Musk.
The article discusses the severe impact of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) budget cuts under the Trump administration on food banks and school meal programs. These cuts have led to a significant reduction in food supplies at a time when demand is increasing due to economic pressures. Food banks, which rely on USDA commodities, are struggling to meet the needs of the community, particularly as donations decrease and costs rise. Schools are also affected, with fewer resources available for meal programs, which are crucial for many children's nutrition. The article highlights the plight of farmers who are caught in the middle; they are paid less for their produce due to decreased government purchases, yet they face higher operational costs. This situation has led to a paradoxical scenario where farmers are forced to destroy surplus food while food insecurity grows among the population. The cuts are part of broader policy changes aimed at reducing government spending, but critics argue they overlook the immediate needs of vulnerable populations and the agricultural sector.
