The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has stopped all of its programs that fund solar or wind power projects on productive farmland, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in an Aug. 18 X post.

“Millions of acres of prime farmland is left unusable so Green New Deal subsidized solar panels can be built. This destruction of our farms and prime soil is taking away the futures of the next generation of farmers and the future of our country,” she said.
