USDA TO ELIMINATE SEVEN COMMITTEES DUE TO BUDGET CUTS
May 19, 2025
Agri-Pulse reports:
USDA is disbanding seven advisory committees under an executive order by President Donald Trump to reduce the federal bureaucracy.
According to a Federal Register notice, the committees include the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics, the Advisory Committee on Universal Cotton Standards, the Fruit and Vegetable Industry Advisory Committee, and the National Advisory Committee on Meat and Poultry Inspection.
Also being axed are the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods, the National Wildlife Services Advisory Committee and the Northwest Forest Plan Area Advisory Committee.
Termination of the committees came after the secretary determined they "were no longer necessary," according to the notice.
But, but, but: Terminations of eight other advisory committees have been paused until further notice.
