Rural development gets a boost in new Agriculture Dept plan
Agriculture Secretary John Block outlines a reorganized Rural Development effort with a new Office of Rural Development Policy and a national advisory council. The plan emphasizes local viability and private sector involvement, yet offers little new funding. Block aims for tighter interdepartmental coordination and broader agricultural rural ties, with Frank Naylor overseeing the new office and John C. McCarthy leading it.
