Overview of USDA Recovery Act Funds
USDA is working to implement provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) to put Americans back to work and rejuvenate the nation's ailing economy. USDA will provide funding to ensure that farmers continue to contribute to local economies, take steps to build and preserve critical infrastructure in communities across America and implement new resource conservation measures.
The Recovery Act provided USDA with nearly $28 billion in funding, which in turn represents nearly $52 billion in program funding through a host of guaranteed loan programs.
