Department of Agriculture Reorganization Plan

The Secretary of Agriculture has sent out a memorandum that authorizes and directs the actions necessary to execute “the consolidation, unification, and optimization of functions within the Department of Agriculture (USDA) to achieve improved effectiveness and accountability, enhanced services, reduced bureaucracy and cost savings for the American people. These actions constitute the USDA Department Reorganization Plan.”

“USDA is committed to preserving critical public safety and other public services the American public relies upon. ”

As the agency reorganizes the functions and staffing will be relocated closer to the people it serves while achieving savings. The functions and staffing found currently at the Agency headquarters and National Capital Region (NCR) will be relocated to five hub locations as well as two additional core administrative support locations.

The following are the five hub locations: Raleigh, NC, Kansas City, MO, Indianapolis, IN, Fort Collins, CO and Salt Lake City, UT. The additional core support locations will be Albuquerque, NM and Minneapolis MN.
