Farmers sued the USDA after climate-related information was removed from federal websites post-Trump inauguration. In response, the USDA, via the DOJ, committed to restoring the deleted content, including interactive tools essential for farmers' decision-making. This move is considered a significant victory for farmers impacted by climate change. Marcie Craig from the Northeast Organic Farming Association expressed relief and satisfaction, highlighting the importance of the restored resources. The lawsuit was filed due to concerns that the removal threatened farmers' livelihoods amidst unpredictable weather conditions.
We're really glad that USDA recognized that this blatantly unlawful purge is harming farmers and researchers and advocates all across the country, and we're ready to ensure that USDA follows through on this promise.
I'll be real frank, it feels good to win one, right? Farmers have been so put upon by the actions of this administration that, you know, it feels good to be able to say, we have something for you.
