📢 USDA plans to purchase up to $472.5 MILLION in American-grown and American-raised agricultural commodities to support our farmers, ranchers and fishermen!
These purchases will supply charitable food networks and other nutrition assistance programs across the country while supporting rural economies.
Supporting American producers. Strengthening our food supply. Feeding families. 🇺🇸

Proud to work with @RepCiscomani and our @uarizona partners to establish the new Southwest Watershed Research Center facility in Tucson.
Thanks to Rep. Juan Ciscomani’s help and fantastic leadership, this facility will provide vital research to Arizona's farmers and ranchers to better manage land and water resources.
@USDA and @USDA_ARS are testing the waters (literally). 💧🇺🇸

Cooperatives were built for this moment.
This Coop Month, USDA Rural Development celebrates the resilient networks driving local economies forward.
Supporting cooperatives strengthens farmer profitability, expands market access, encourages innovation, creates jobs in rural communities, and reinforces the America’s role of leadership in agriculture, food production, and farm security.

Big milestone for the Tri-City region! 🎉🚧
Tri-City Regional Sanitary District (TRSD) celebrated Phase 1 of its new wastewater system — powered by a $23 million loan and $24 million grant from USDA Rural Development. This project will replace failing systems, protect local water, and bring modern infrastructure to more than 5,500 residents of Globe, Miami and Claypool.
Thanks to an additional USDA Rural Development grant, homeowners will connect at no cost, giving residents an important upgrade, allowing them to improve and ensure sanitary conditions for their homes.
More progress ahead as construction continues through 2028! 🌟🚧

New home, new tree! 🌳🏡
USDA Rural Development representatives celebrated Ms. Magaña's future new home during a Day of Service event. Excited to see this Mutual Self‑Help home — and the new tree — grow!
Thanks to the hard work of Housing America Corporation and the generous support of local businesses across the San Luis community, the Magaña family is one step closer to their new home. We’re grateful to everyone helping them along the way.

Three of our USDA Rural Development Arizona leaders spent last Friday rolling up our sleeves to volunteer at the Amado Youth Center — a facility we previously helped fund through a Community Facilities loan and grant.
Our team loved giving back to a center that’s transforming opportunities for rural youth! 🌟💪
Two Arizona producers, two unique visions — and one powerful boost from USDA Rural Development’s Value-Added Producer Grant (VAPG)!
Good Food Tucson’s Dos Manos Apiaries is taking raw Sonoran Desert honey to new heights, expanding retail channels, building out online sales, strengthening production infrastructure, and even creating 12 new local agricultural jobs. That’s some seriously sweet growth!🐝
Meanwhile, Michaelis Ag Services is shaping the future of its livestock operation with a VAPG planning grant that supports long-term strategy for high-quality swine and sheep production. From established infrastructure to carefully selected breeds, they’re using the grant to plan for smarter, stronger, more resilient growth across their 30-acre operation. 🐑🐖
These producers are proving what VAPG is all about: turning local dedication into lasting opportunity — and keeping more value in rural communities.

Honored to join @POTUS and @FLOTUS at the White House today as President Trump signed an Executive Order to advance women’s health at every stage of life. 🇺🇸
As Secretary of Agriculture, I know how important this mission is for rural America. Today, 70% of rural counties lack a hospital with labor and delivery services. Our mothers, daughters, and sisters deserve access to quality care, no matter their ZIP code.
From better care to more affordable food, President Trump is putting American families first.
As he said today, “The prices are coming way down!” 🥚🥬🧀🍎📉
His leadership is delivering progress for our farmers and the families they feed.
More work ahead, but proud to serve under a President fighting every day to Make America Healthy Again!
Serving Those Who Served! 🇺🇸
USDA Rural Development, SBA, VA, America’s SBDC, and Boots to Business programs hosted a roundtable in Sierra Vista to highlight federal resources available to Veterans who own or plan to start a small business.
Emphasizing the continued commitment of the Trump Administration to expand economic opportunities for those who have served, the event aimed to simplify access to information and ensure Veterans understand the full range of assistance available to them as business owners.
We're proud to support those who have served our nation and continue to strengthen communities across Arizona!

Celebrating solutions for Arizona residents!
USDA Rural Development Under Secretary Glen Smith celebrated .@RD_Arizona's partnership with Tri-City Sanitation District to provide 5,500 rural Arizona residents with proper sanitation.
Another .@USDARD win for Rural America!
Today the USDA Rural Development team attended The National Rural Water Association (@NRWA) WaterPro Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, focused on one of our most essential priorities: ensuring rural communities have access to safe, reliable water and wastewater infrastructure.
Because strong communities start with strong infrastructure--and clean water is something every community deserves! rd.usda.gov/programs-service… @usdaRD @RD_Arizona @RD_Nevada @NRWA
Strong communities start with clean, reliable water! USDA Rural Development's Water and Environmental Programs provide funding for assistance and financing necessary to develop and improve critical drinking water and waste disposal infrastructure.

Take “sweat equity” to the next level. Through USDA’s Mutual Self-Help Housing Program, families work together to build their own homes, lowering the purchase price. Celebrate #HomeownershipMonth by building a future in a new home! Learn about building your dream home at rd.usda.gov.
