USDA ‘Creating Jobs’ by Buying Snowmobiles, Fire Trucks

By Published on August 18, 2015

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) says it is creating jobs by spending millions on snowmobiles, fire trucks, studying a “gluten-free mill,” and other local initiatives.

The federal agency announced $18.1 million in loans and grants last month, describing the projects as an “efficient way” to benefit taxpayers.

The spending includes over $150,000 for two snowmobile clubs in Vermont.

The “Drift Dusters Snowmobile Club” will receive $73,572 and “Country Riders Snowmobile” will get $76,832 to “purchase a snowmobile to support local businesses and promote tourism.”
