- The USDA canceled $300M in farm grants, citing fraud. Did it make up the evidence?
The USDA canceled $300 million in farm grants, citing fraud and waste, with 49 out of 50 grantees notified in a single week. Agroecology Commons, a nonprofit focused on helping farmers of color, avoided cancellation temporarily, possibly due to an ongoing lawsuit. The agency accused grantees of excessive expenditures, including gazebos and oversized office budgets, but Agroecology Commons remained unaffected.
