  "transcript": "I'm Michelle Rook with today's AgDay Minute. Hurricane Isaias has strengthened to a Category 2 storm ahead of an expected Gulf Coast landfall, and it could deal a major blow to Southern growers. Agronomists warn that producers hit the hardest could be cotton farmers. Open-boll cotton crops across the Southeast risk severe quality losses just as producers are gearing up to harvest. A Reuters exclusive reveals US farm debt has surpassed a record $600 billion. And the real number may be much higher. The report finds squeezed growers are relying heavily on untracked vendor financing, equipment dealers, and co-ops just to stay in business. Economists warn this shadow borrowing could be up to three times what's reported, with some operations juggling dozens of credit lines. The USDA is dispensing $1.8 billion in Conservation Reserve Program payments to landowners and growers nationwide. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says expanding Grassland CRP is part of the administration's effort to rebuild the American cattle herd by protecting nearly 1 million new grazing acres. And another monetary update from USDA. The agency is investing $825 million in international food assistance. The money will be spread across three programs: Food for Peace, McGovern-Dole Food for Education, and Food for Progress.
