The Agriculture Department has been working to get more young people to go into farming by bringing disparate federal resources together, virtually. Leading the effort is Lilia McFarland. She's the coordinator of the New and Beginning Farmer and Ranch Program at USDA, and a finalist in this year's Service to America Medals program. She joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to talk about the program.
