USDA’s proposed reorganization would relocate key staff, realign regional offices, and impact critical research facilities. BPIA opposes actions that would weaken Washington, D.C.-based regulatory expertise, disrupt world-class research at facilities like the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center and the University of California, Riverside, and reduce support for growers in critical agricultural regions. We urge the USDA to maintain its presence in D.C., protect vital research hubs, and ensure that regional offices align with agricultural demand centers. See BPIA Comments 082625
