DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY

-
The mission of the Department of Agriculture covers not only production
agriculture, but health and nutrition, safety of the nation’s food supply, care and
nurturing of the environment, the quality of life in rural communities, and research,
education and economics. As one "Team USDA," the Department is committed to
provide better service at less cost.
As part of this commitment, I am restructuring the Department to carry out our
mission more effectively and reduce redundant administrative functions. Integral to this
process is the need to ensure that we manage our programs without the stigma of abuse,
waste or mismanagement. Timely implementation of audit recommendations and
appropriate followup are useful management tools to ensure the financial integrity and
the administrative effectiveness in delivering these programs.
