USDA probationary staff fired at two research agencies, sources say

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration has fired probationary staff at two U.S. Department of Agriculture research agencies, two sources familiar with the situation said on Friday.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has dismissed a significant number of probationary staff members from two of its research agencies, the Economic Research Service (ERS) and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), according to sources cited by Reuters on February 14, 2025. This action was part of a broader initiative to restructure these agencies, which began under the Trump administration and has continued into the Biden era. The dismissals have raised concerns among employees about job security and the potential impact on the agencies' research capabilities. The USDA has not provided detailed reasons for these terminations but has mentioned that such decisions are part of standard personnel management practices during probationary periods. Critics argue that this could lead to a loss of expertise and institutional knowledge, potentially affecting the quality and continuity of agricultural and economic research.
