NAWG Welcomes ‘One Farmer, One File’ Initiative

Washington, D.C. (February 26, 2026) – The National Association of Wheat Growers (NAWG) today welcomed U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins’ announcement of the “One Farmer, One File” initiative. The initiative aims to create a single, streamlined digital record that follows farmers across USDA agencies and programs, reducing redundancy and improving efficiency.

“NAWG welcomes Secretary Rollins’ launch of the “One Farmer, One File” initiative. Farmers run complex family businesses and time is one the most precious commodities on their farm. USDA’s effort to create a single, streamlined record is welcome news that will save farmers time, better inform business decisions, and hopefully improve program delivery,” said NAWG CEO Sam Kieffer.
