CHICAGO, Feb 20 (Reuters) - U.S. Department of Agriculture will release approximately $20 million in funding for previously approved contracts that had been frozen by the Trump administration's push to overhaul the federal government, the agency said late Thursday
USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins said the money will go to honor contracts that were already made directly to farmers, according to a statement on USDA's website.
