Trevor Hardy (left), owner of Brookdale Fruit Farm, explains a demonstration of specialized implements that support smaller specialty crop producers to Agricultural Secretary Tom Vilsack (right) at the farm’s operation in Hollis, New Hampshire June 17, 2022. The demonstration came after Vilsack announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) plans to provide up to $200 million in assistance for specialty crop producers who incur eligible on-farm food safety program expenses to obtain or renew a food safety certification in calendar years 2022 or 2023.
