USDA Reorg Plan ‘About 95%’ Finalized as Feedback Period Begins

By Ryan Hanrahan

Politico’s Grace Yarrow reported that “Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Sunday that USDA’s plans to move much of its D.C.-based staff to five hubs across the country are ‘about 95 percent’ finalized.”

“‘Most of America seems to love’ the plan, Rollins told reporters during USDA’s farmers market event Sunday. ‘The uniparty here in Washington, D.C., hasn’t been quite as excited about it,'” Yarrow reported. “USDA opened a public comment period on the reorganization plan, after frustration from allies on Capitol Hill and in the agriculture industry who felt surprised by and left out of the plans.”

“‘We worked six months on that plan,’ Rollins said,” according to Yarrow’s reporting. “‘I feel really good about it. If I were to game it, I’d say it’s about 95 percent baked. But always open and willing and excited to get that feedback and I expect a lot more.'”

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
