Farming Coalition Sues Over Freeze In USDA Grants

Courthouse News reports:

A coalition of farmers sued the Trump administration Thursday to lift an indefinite freeze of billions of dollars in funding for programs created under the Inflation Reduction Act.

In the suit, brought in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the farmers challenge President Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order “Unleashing American Energy,” which placed an immediate pause on all funds appropriated under the 2022 statute.

The farmers — Butterbee Farm, One Acre Farm, Two Boots Farm, Red Fire Farm and Hendrix Farm — operate in Maryland, Massachusetts and Mississippi. They were joined in the suit by nonprofits Cultivate KC, Faith in Place and GreenLatinos.
