The National Association of Conservation Districts has reviewed Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue's plan to restructure USDA's mission areas.
"As one of USDA's core partners, NACD's primary goal is to ensure that American landowners are given the tools and technical assistance they need to conserve and enhance our nation's natural resources," NACD President Brent Van Dyke said. "For this reason, we were glad to hear Secretary Perdue say that no reduction in the workforce will occur as a result of the reorganization."
"NACD looks forward to providing input to USDA throughout the reorganization process to ensure continued strong service delivery," NACD CEO Jeremy Peters said. "Because many of the nation's 3,000 conservation districts are co-located with USDA field offices, local input is critical as the reorganization progresses to prevent any loss of service."
