This week I had the pleasure of visiting Utah – the 50th state I have visited as the secretary of agriculture. Throughout my travels, I’ve seen the values that truly unite us — values we’ve embodied in our USDA motto to “Do right and feed everyone.”
With hard work and dedication, you can accomplish great things. That’s the American dream. And when times are tough we pull together to solve problems, and we look out for each other, knowing that next time, we may be the one who needs a helping hand.
In Utah, you have a unique system to provide temporary food assistance.
