10 March 2026, Washington: U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins published an opinion piece in the Des Moines Register highlighting the need to modernize and streamline federal processes for producers, emphasizing the USDA’s new “One Farmer, One File” initiative, which replaces hundreds of outdated systems with a single, unified digital record designed to cut red tape, accelerate approvals, and deliver program funds to farmers more efficiently.
“Recently USDA rolled out the “One Farmer, One File” initiative, which puts Farmers First by improving how they interact with USDA. This modernization effort replaces an antiquated system and delivers a single, streamlined record that follows the farmer — no matter where they go in the USDA system,” said Secretary Rollins. “President Trump understands that our farmers deserve administrative support that makes their lives simpler and more rewarding. When we reduce bureaucratic burdens on our farmers, they can spend more time on what they do best: feeding, clothing, and fueling America and the rest of the world.”
