Mom wanted to close a few other things that had been on her mind since dad's passing, specifically some things with his family. She wanted to see them and asked for a trip buddy, so I volunteered myself to drive her around, see a few sites, many relatives and good times.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue tours the Hunger Task Force Farm vegetable farm, which administers USDA commodity programs and services area food pantries and food banks in and around Franklin, WI, on Aug. 3, 2017.
According to the Hunger Task Force Farm, the Farm grows fresh fruits and vegetables for the express purpose of feeding the hungry, creating a reliable source of healthy food for our network. Every pound of produce is delivered free of charge. All the Wisconsin staples are grown, including corn, peppers, green beans, asparagus, apples, pears and cantaloupe—over 30 varieties of fruits and vegetables in all. The Farm produces more than 750,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables every year. All delivered free to the hungry in Milwaukee. Secretary Perdue begins a five-state RV tour today. This “Back to Our Roots” Tour, will gather input on the 2018 Farm Bill and increasing rural prosperity, at the Wisconsin State Fair Park, in West Allis, near Milwaukee, MN, on Aug. 3, 2017. Along the way, Perdue will meet with farmers, ranchers, foresters, producers, students, governors, Members of Congress, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) employees, and other stakeholders. This is the first of two RV tours the secretary will undertake this summer. “The ‘Back to our Roots’ Farm Bill and rural prosperity RV listening tour will allow us to hear directly from people in agriculture across the country, as well as our consumers – they are the ones on the front lines of American agriculture and they know best what the current issues are,” Perdue said. “USDA will be intimately involved as Congress deliberates and formulates the 2018 Farm Bill. We are committed to making the resources and the research available so that Congress can make good facts-based, data-driven decisions. It’s important to look at past practices to see what has worked and what has not worked, so that we create a farm bill for the future that will be embraced by American agriculture in 2018.” This first RV Tour will feature stops in five states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. For social media purposes, Secretary Perdue’s Twitter account (@SecretarySonny) will be using the hashtag #BackToOurRoots. USDA Photo by Lance Cheung.

Capital Area Food Bank's Oye Mack keeps commodities moving on a sorting conveyor system, Wednesday, March 30, 2016, in Washington, D.C. Mixed commodities from public donations and gleaned food from distributors and producers are loaded onto a conveyor belt system that circulates the items through two warehouse rooms where items are picked by category and placed bins that helps the operation redistribute the commodities. U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA Food and Nutrition Service FNS programs partner with organizations such as this to distribute food to those in need. In times of disaster, using food banks and congregate feeding operations such as school systems and soup kitchens are effective and efficient ways to support temporary needs.

This is a picture of commodities; I took this picture in my house because my grandparents get commodities and they share them with us. Just in case you don’t know what commodities are I will tell you; commodities are foods for people with low income over a certain age. Commodities are a good thing because people can go get generic brands of food for very cheap prices or sometimes free. Some people even get them sent to their homes. Commodities are a great thing because some people can’t afford to buy food or can’t afford to buy enough food.
Community FoodBank of New Jersey operations, on January 20, 2016, in Hillside, New Jersey. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) partnered with the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, and Emergency Support Function #11 partners to respond to the disaster nutrition needs of those most severely impacted by Hurricane Sandy. FoodBank packaged and delivered USDA Foods as part of a Disaster Household Distribution Program to communities in need throughout New Jersey. The FoodBank utilized the processes it already had in place for packaging Commodity Supplemental Food Program boxes and lessons learned from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee to quickly serve 24,000 households affected by Hurricane Sandy. USDA FNS relies on strong partnerships with food banks, such as the Community FoodBank of New Jersey, and other organizations at the local, state, and federal levels to provide USDA Foods for disaster congregate and household feeding. USDA coordinated its disaster nutrition response efforts with the State under FEMA’s Emergency Support Function #11 - Agriculture and Natural Resources. At the Federal level, ESF #11 supports State, tribal, and local authorities and other Federal agency efforts to provide nutrition assistance to those most severely impacted by disasters.
