Some money previously frozen when President Trump took office will soon be released. USDA says it centers around conservation.
The money was tied up while officials reviewed spending from the Inflation Reduction Act.

It centers around several conservation programs, like the Conservation Stewardship Program.
Rollins says they will honor those commitments to ensure American producers have the tools they need to remain competitive.
