NSAC warned that the plan could destabilize agricultural research, conservation programs, technical assistance, and access to critical components of the farm safety net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cOur members, more than 170 grassroots organizations representing family farmers, ranchers, and rural communities, are deeply concerned that this reorganization could worsen the challenges many producers are already facing,\u201d said <strong>Mike Lavender, NSAC Policy Director<\/strong>, adding: \u201cWe urge USDA to revise its approach and engage meaningfully with stakeholders to ensure reforms strengthen, rather than weaken, the Department\u2019s ability to serve our nation\u2019s farmers, ranchers, and the broader public.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The letter was submitted electronically to reorganization@usda.gov as part of the public comment process, which closed yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read NSAC\u2019s full comment <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainableagriculture.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/NSAC-2025-USDA-Reorganization-Comment.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>###&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>About the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC):<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition is a grassroots alliance that advocates for federal policy reform supporting the long-term social, economic, and environmental sustainability of agriculture, natural resources, and rural communities.
