Tennessee Receiving $1.4 million in Ag Funds for Schools and Some County Programs

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that more than $389 million is being distributed to 41 states and Puerto Rico for public schools and roads and specific county programs. Tennessee will get $1.4 million.

In addition to payments for schools and roads, the Secure Rural Schools Act supports Firewise Communities programs, reimburses counties for emergency services on national forests and funds development of community wildfire protection plans.
