How Carters USDA budget came about
Washington UPI reports President Carter's budget process relied on zero base budgeting at the Agriculture Department. Secretary Bergland pushed program-by-program justifications, but full employee-wide reviews were dropped in favor of agency-chief reports. Readings show priority rankings favored current operations, with some programs kept at reduced funding or raised to protect core functions. The department previously reviewed 8,000 Washington staff for possible eliminations while broader national studies may expand. Auctions and farm sales are listed for late January.
