Lawmakers\u00a0included a provision in the fiscal 2026 appropriations bill for USDA that blocked officials from reorganizing or relocating offices or employees without congressional authorization.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Department officials  that its relocation plans are a\u00a0reduction in force in disguise, but Justice Department attorneys\u00a0 that the \u201creorganization plans include workforce optimization measures, including downsizing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact remains that relocating employees \u2014 even if some voluntarily resign instead \u2014 is not the same as implementing large-scale RIFs as Plaintiffs suggest,\u201d DOJ attorneys wrote. \u201cUSDA has reiterated time and again that it is relying heavily on completely voluntary tools to reduce its workforce.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The department told employees receiving relocation notices it was a \u201cmyth\u201d that the reorganization is \u201cjust another way to shrink the workforce and get rid of federal employees.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A USDA spokesperson said in a statement that the &#8220;department has made clear the reorganization is a regimented, multi-step process, and that all services and supports will continue without interruption.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>The human cost of relocation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tom Bewick, vice president of American Federation of Government Employees Local 3403,\u00a0 that NIFA employees were required to accept relocation offers before being allowed to apply for a reasonable accommodation or hardship exemption.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNIFA appears to be aware that the relocation is likely to cause a mass exodus of experienced staff because they have recently implemented new systems to attempt to preserve institutional knowledge,\u201d Bewick wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Those new systems include having employees document the steps necessary to run particular grant programs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat experience cannot be easily replaced,\u201d Bewick wrote, adding that it takes a new hire at NIFA about three or four years to learn how to run a grant program independently.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of the employees hired in 2020 (to address the attrition from forced relocations in 2019) are just beginning to hit their stride,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Collin Bradley, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3976, which represents Foreign Agricultural Service employees,\u00a0\u00a0of more than 150 bargaining unit employees, 94% said they would quit rather than relocate to Kansas City. Other internal polls conducted by unions have found similar results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am certain there will be significant attrition if the relocation orders proceed,\u201d Bradley wrote. \u201cWe have shared the results of our survey with the Agency and we have communicated our concerns about attrition.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Downsizing efforts revealed<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Internal documents shared with the court show that\u00a0 in February 2026 as part of its reorganization plans and to \u201csupport USDA&#8217;s efforts to Downsize the Federal Workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than 28,000 employees have separated from the Agriculture Department, largely through voluntary separation incentives, since the start of the second Trump administration. Factoring in hiring, the department has seen a net decrease of nearly 16,000 employees.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Agriculture officials told OPM it expected another 5,000 employees to accept its extended VERA offer. If the department fell short of that goal, USDA wrote that it would try to shrink its workforce through relocations, reassignments and downgrades \u2013 but not through RIFs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the recent filing the department noted that, \u201cdue to delays related to expansive litigation impacting USDA reorganization planning,&#8221; its reorganization plans will continue through at least February 2027.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>DOJ attorneys wrote that USDA hasn\u2019t conducted any attrition analysis yet, but will do so, &#8220;in conjunction with hiring and facilities planning at relocation sites as it finalizes relocation plans on an agency-by-agency basis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best information currently available to the agency indicates that, as a result of the current job market, attrition will be less than during prior reorganizations,\u201d they wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The department is trying to relocate many more employees than it attempted under the first Trump administration. The 2019 relocation of the Economic Research Service and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture set the stage for what followed, with those agencies\u00a0losing more than half their staff after employees quit rather than relocate to Kansas City, Mo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Agriculture officials\u00a0 that the department is planning to hire nearly 16,000 employees this year.
