From the article, small farming programs in the state previously had access to around 10,000,000 dollars in federal grants. They now expect to only receive around 500,000 in grant money, which is a reduction of 95%.

Many of these small farmers worked to produce drought and desert adapted crops, and helped supply farmer’s markets, food banks, and tribal food programs.
