Kansas Wheaties Shine at State Fair Contests

Kansas Wheaties Shine at State Fair Contests


Today, as part of a broader effort to support urban agriculture in Pennsylvania, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) officials opened the region’s first USDA Urban Service Center in Philadelphia.

Terry Cosby, Chief of USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) Administrator Zach Ducheneaux joined together, onsite in Philadelphia, to demonstrate USDA’s unified commitment to working together and with partner organizations to provide expanded, specialized services and programs to producers in urban areas.

"Urban producers here in Philadelphia deserve access to services that meet their specific needs,” said NRCS Chief Terry Cosby, “The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to expanding support for urban communities that will increase access to healthy, local foods.”

“By establishing Urban Ag centers like this one here in Philadelphia, we can highlight and amplify the existing ability of FSA and NRCS to meet the needs of urban and innovative ag producers,” said Ducheneaux. “Our Urban Service Centers play a critical role in our efforts to remove barriers between producers and consumers around the importance of healthy, safe, nutritious and accessible food.”
