More than 100 USDA and ag related government offices all over the country are on the list to have their leases terminated by the Department of Government Efficiency.
According to a list on DOGE’s website, the affected offices include:
- FSA state and county offices
- NRCS
- APHIS
- Agricultural Marketing Service
- Rural Housing Service
- Food Safety and Inspection Service
- Forest Service
- Risk Management Agency
These offices are located in 40 U.S. states, and the DOGE estimates say the total savings from this move will add up to over $60 million.
Here’s where those offices are located:
It’s important to note the lease terminations don’t necessarily mean all the locations will close. In some cases, agencies may negotiate new leases to stay in place, downsize their existing space, or relocate elsewhere.
USDA currently ranks seventh on DOGE’s “Agency Efficiency Leaderboard”.
