The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) mission area today announced organizational improvements across the Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Risk Management Agency (RMA), and the FPAC Business Center (FBC) is designed to strengthen service delivery, improve operational efficiency, and better align resources with the needs of America’s farmers, ranchers, and producers.
FPAC agencies already operate primarily in the field, with the vast majority of employees serving producers outside USDA’s Washington, D.C., headquarters. The organizational improvements build upon that foundation by streamlining leadership structures, clarifying lines of authority, consolidating duplicative functions, and maximizing resources available for customer service and program delivery.
“America’s farmers and ranchers deserve a USDA that is responsive, efficient, and focused on delivering results,” said U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Stephen A. Vaden. “These organizational improvements strengthen USDA’s ability to serve producers by reducing unnecessary bureaucracy, improving accountability, and ensuring resources are aligned where they can have the greatest impact. This effort reflects our commitment to good government and putting farmers first.”
