Press Release: Senator Adam Schiff Criticizes USDA for Neglecting California in New Staff Proposal

None

Senator Schiff criticizes USDA's proposal for failing to include California, vital for agriculture, during a Senate hearing.

Quiver AI Summary

During a recent Senate Agriculture Committee hearing, Senator Adam Schiff criticized the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for a new proposal that does not include any operational hubs in California, the largest agricultural state in the U.S. Schiff expressed concerns that this decision disregards California farmers and could lead to staff cuts at the USDA.

Schiff pressed USDA Deputy Secretary Stephen Vaden on the implications of the plan, questioning why no hubs are allocated in proximity to California despite it being a major agricultural producer. Vaden countered that the hub locations were chosen based on cost of living considerations, which he argued made them more viable than setting up in California.

Schiff also noted that California has lost significant federal agriculture resources and expressed apprehension about perceived political motivations behind these decisions, stating, “The proof will be whether resources actually get to California farmers.” Vaden maintained that the decision stems from budgetary needs rather than political bias.
