Representatives from the United States Department of Agriculture were in-studio to discuss rural initiatives, and the volume of funding that's available for projects in rural communities. Whether it's funding an ambulance, hospital expansion, firehouse, town hall project, or many others - the USDA's Rural Development team works hard to bring that information to local leaders. Jim Walfrand, a Community Specialist and Area Director for the USDA’s Western New York Region; and Richard Mayfield, New York’s USDA Rural Development Director joins us to discuss rural development.
