Interagency Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity

President Trump signed an Executive Order to promote agriculture and rural prosperity shortly after USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue was sworn into office.  The Executive Order establishes the Interagency Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity.  The Task Force is tasked to identify legislative, regulatory, and policy changes that would promote rural America agriculture, economic development, job growth, infrastructure improvements, technological innovation, energy security, and quality of life. 

The Executive Order also sunsets the White House Rural Council, established during the Obama administration in 2012.
