[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. 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. [/quote] + a million. It would make a lot of sense. But of course some entitled "public servants" believe the public exists to serve them at their convenience...[/quote] Makes sense to people who have no clue as to what these scientists do... [quote]What’s more,[b] neither agency works directly with farmers:[/b] ERS employees conduct research on and analyze the agricultural and food markets, including looking at food stamps and food security; NIFA employees fund research and provide grants on agriculture-related science. Even the estimated savings have come under question. An analysis by the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association found that the relocation would actually cost taxpayers between $83 and $182 million[/quote][/quote] This. It’s not the headquarters that is moving. It’s relatively few employees out of the whole USDA. But, these particular jobs would be better off staying in DC.[/quote]
