Other key details about the move are also unknown so far, according to the employees.Critics see the move, set to be completed by Sept. 30, as yet another example of the Trump administration looking to sideline scientists and researchers, keeping them away from the corridors of power. Of NIFA's 315 jobs, 294 will be relocated, and of the 329 jobs at ERS, 253 will be moved to Kansas City. Scientists Desert USDA As Agency Relocates To Kansas City Area : The Salt The mandatory move imposed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on … Federal Jobs available! The region is not only a hub for agriculture in America’s heartland, but is also already proving to be a diverse talent pool in proximity to many land-grant and research universities. With this new lease in Kansas City, the federal government will realize significant savings which can be attributed to lower lease costs in the Kansas City region and to improved efficiencies resulting in a smaller physical footprint realized through the co-location of the two agencies. Employees say morale is at an all-time low and they worry about the future of an agency that is already hemorrhaging staff and having trouble completing its work.Employees would then have two months to move to Kansas City — they must be there by the end of the fiscal year — but school in the area is slated to start Aug. 12, putting added pressure on those with families to quickly make a move.“I think the biggest misconception around this is, we don’t serve individual farmers,” Dodson said.
A lot of the research that scientists and economists do at [the USDA] has policy implications, and members of Congress need this information and need to have face-to-face meetings with these researchers,” Rebecca Boehm, with the Union of Concerned Scientists, told The Hill.Employees had a list of complaints about a move they have likened to Amazon’s search for a second headquarters, as the USDA examined bids from 139 cities.“It keeps science out of the policymaking process. “Our stakeholders are primarily Congress and program leads and agencies and nonprofits in D.C. or people that come to meet with multiple entities in D.C."But the numbers of staff refusing to move may grow. And we’ve seen many times that this administration doesn’t like facts or research that isn’t convenient or [is] an impediment to their agenda, so I think moving them away helps accomplish that,” she added.National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) employees work with universities to fund research and coordinate the process that issues research grants on agriculture-related subjects, including climate change adaptation.Employees say they are getting conflicting information about how much of their moving costs will be covered by the government. Overall, the move was expected to impact 547 staff between the two agencies.“Many of these staffers believe their relocation is an effort to silence their research into topics that do not align with the Trump administration’s political agenda, including the study of climate change and benefits of low-income food assistance,” she added.The move affects two wings of the USDA. ERS studies programs such as the National School Lunch Program.
Out of 344 total NIFA positions, 21 positions remain in D.C. while 323 are in Kansas City. “We’re excited to announce ERS and NIFA’s new, permanent home in downtown Kansas City, Missouri and provide clarity on commute times and work-life balance for our employees,” said Secretary Perdue. “This agency is the product of like 50 years of institutional knowledge and gathering up researchers who are very specialized in their fields.”“USDA has determinedly worked to ensure employees have the resources they need to make informed decisions about their employment and to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible,” the agency said in a statement.But employees say the hectic way the move has been handled has soured many about the USDA.Democrats have blocked USDA funding from supporting the move and asked the agency to turn over information about its decisionmaking process, and they have sponsored legislation to keep the two agencies in Washington.“I’ve never experienced morale like this in any job,” said Wesley Dean, a national program leader in sociology for NIFA.
