In a significant shift, more than 15,000 employees from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have accepted voluntary resignation offers tied to financial incentives under the previous administration. USDA leadership, including Secretary Rollins, is now facing scrutiny as they attempt to fill critical positions left vacant by these mass resignations. Despite the budget cuts and personnel losses, Rollins has assured that no Farm Service Agency offices will be closed, emphasizing a commitment to efficiency and service to farmers. The USDA is currently undergoing a reorganization process, with plans to hire staff back in key roles, while also responding to concerns from Senate Democrats regarding the impact of workforce reductions on essential programs.
