Summary:

Since its inception in the 1930s, when small, family-owned farms typified American agriculture, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has seen its mission expand to include everything from traditional food production to more cross-cutting issues like rural development and biotechnology. Because agribusiness today is a global enterprise, fundamental change at USDA is essential. This testimony focuses on (1) USDA's need to overcome problems in organizational structure and management systems, (2) recent efforts to streamline USDA, and (3) issues to consider in revitalizing USDA.
