About this listen

The USDA is undergoing a major reorganization to better align with its original mission of supporting American agriculture.

This initiative, announced by Secretary Brooke L. Rollins, aims to streamline operations and reduce costs due to perceived overspending and inefficiency.

Key aspects include relocating thousands of employees from the Washington D.C. area to five regional hubs to be closer to agricultural communities and reduce living expenses for staff.

While public safety and national security positions are exempt from elimination, the reorganization seeks to reduce the overall workforce through voluntary departures and consolidate redundant functions, aiming for a more financially sustainable and responsive department.
