The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) could see its funding reduced moving forward.
President Trump’s fiscal year 2027 budget proposal calls for $20.8 billion in discretionary spending for the USDA.
This would represent a $4.9 billion, or 19 percent decrease from 2026.
The USDA in its current form “is a bloated Washington, D.C. bureaucracy with multiple management layers and many extraneous programs that are irrelevant to supporting an America First agricultural policy,” the 92-page document says.
