Arthur Tripp, the state executive director of the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), is working to continue providing a pathway to the agriculture industry.

On Monday’s edition of  “Closer Look” Tripp talked with program host Rose Scott about new federal funding that’s being allocated to support minority producers and Georgia’s agricultural industry through several initiatives, including the Increasing Land, Capital, and Market Access (Increasing Land Access) Program.

Tripp also talked about the importance of educating the public about the possibilities and pathways in the agriculture industry.
