When you factor in other things like family, faith, hunting, tools, trucks, pets, and football, it's clear that farmers are much more than the crops or livestock in their fields. To top it all off, a farmer is also on the go -- A LOT! We understand that you don't go into the field or head to your workshop with a magazine under your arm, but we know your phone is always at hand. These days, everyth

ing is digital and mobile, and we believe your news should be, too. AGDAILY speaks to the trending issues and helps to accurately convey the culture of what farming is all about. Some of us might wear overalls and use pitchforks, but the public perception of us shouldn't be based on a decades-old painting. We are a forward-thinking news site for a forward-thinking industry. You don't need someone to advocate for you, but rather with you. And the industry needs a voice that can laugh and think and inform and live side-by-side with it. Of course, we also know you want your news now, not tomorrow or in a month. The world doesn't work that way, not anymore. AGDAILY develops smart, engaging, and innovative mobile content. We're the information superhighway for your country road.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has begun listing planned lease terminations to impact 59 Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service offices as part of an effort to cut costs, according to the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) website.

The move is part of the Trump administration’s initiative to reduce agency spending, affecting numerous office spaces across the country. So far, 748 lease terminations totaling 9,587,384 square feet and approximately $660,000 in lease savings have been listed on DOGE's website.

The USDA’s lease terminations zero in on 36 NRCS office leases, 13 FSA county offices, and 11 Rural Housing Service offices will see their leases terminated. However, office closures are nothing new and have been a part of actions taken by all recent administrations.
