Feds close farm offices nationwide plan cuts 1100 sites
The Agriculture Department will shutter 1,070 field offices under a streamlining push led by Secretary Mike Espy. Pennsylvania loses 22 offices including West Chester. Delaware County sees none. The move aims to cut payroll by 11,000, save 3.6 billion over five years, and consolidate services under a single Consolidated Farm Service Agency. Skeptics doubt farmers will benefit from fewer centers and centralized programs.
