efficient agricultural programs. The agency offers farmers a
strong safety net through the administration of farm commodity

are unable to receive private, commercial credit, including
special emphasis on beginning, underserved and women farmers and
ranchers.

Under the direction of Secretary Sonny Perdue, the USDA will always
be facts-based and data-driven, with a decision-making mindset that
is customer-focused. Secretary Perdue leads the USDA with four
guiding principles: to maximize the ability of American agriculture
to create jobs, sell food and fiber, and feed and clothe the world;
to prioritize customer service for the taxpayers; to ensure that our
food supply is safe and secure; and to maintain good stewardship of
the natural resources that provide us with our miraculous bounty.
Understanding that we live in a global economy where trade is of top
importance, Secretary Perdue has pledged to be an unapologetic
advocate for American agriculture.
