[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Evidence suggests that the relocation of these agencies is an attempt to hollow out and dismantle USDA science that helps farmers and protects our food supply," the union added.

Brain drain of top scientists doing federal research.  I hope the new people will not simply be yes men, but that's probably the intent.  I guess the MAGA folks are happy.[/quote]

So they pre-emptily jump ship and leave the agency to flounder? Doesn't seem smart.

[b]And correct me if I'm wrong - but shouldn't the agency focused on agriculture, food and rural communities be actually in the areas were that's most impactful? Seems smart to have the USDA hq'd in the heartland.[/b]

I think it's this in a nutshell.[/quote]

Most USDA jobs are located where the impact is. [b]The staff in DC is typically HQ level staff who provides policy and guidance[/b] to those located across the country while also being able to easily provide information to Congress and collaborate with other  HQ employees. Not every single USDA employee needs to "be in the heartland".
