Department of Agriculture (USDA)

Read a random definition: consumer credit

A quick definition of Department of Agriculture (USDA):

The USDA is a government agency that helps farmers and makes sure we have safe and healthy food. It was created a long time ago by President Abraham Lincoln. The USDA helps farmers when they have problems, like bad weather or pests. They also help protect the environment and make sure we have enough food for everyone.

A more thorough explanation:

The United States Department of Agriculture ("USDA") is a federal executive agency responsible for overseeing farming, agriculture, and food policies in the United States. It was established in 1862 by President Abraham Lincoln.

The USDA provides support to farmers, ranchers, and growers in various ways. For example, it offers:

  • Disaster relief
  • Crop insurance
  • Technical assistance
  • Loan access
  • Assistance in implementing conservation techniques

These services help ensure that America's agricultural industries remain strong and sustainable. For instance, if a farmer's crops are destroyed by a natural disaster, the USDA can provide financial assistance to help them recover. Similarly, crop insurance protects farmers from financial losses due to crop failures or other unforeseen events.

Is it really like no clerkship benefit at Chicago if you’re not conservative?

No, at least from the two people I know there that’s false. I think it’s just something like Chicago for conservatives is on par with S whereas for liberals it’s below HYS but above CCNP

I mean I think even the student body there only like 15 percent is part of fedsoc
It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)

@texaslawhopefully: it's pretty funny how even in law journal articles people can't stop confusing Penn with Penn State
