Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, has stopped funding for a $397,000 grant to educate transgender farmers in Northern California.

Rollins announced the cancellation of the grant in a video on Wednesday.

That grant was a 2023 award to the Agroecology Commons, according to Civil Eats.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was reportedly using the funds to educate queer, Black and indigenous, and transgender farmers and consumers in the San Francisco Bay area about “food justice and values-aligned markets.”

The secretary also teased that there is more action to come as the Trump administration seeks to eliminate wasteful Biden-era programs and initiatives.

Her announcement comes as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to crackdown on specialized projects targeting specific demographic groups.
