USDA Changes,
Glickman To Be Secretary
VERNON ACHBNBACH JR.
Lancaster Farming Staff
HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has changed drastical
ly over the past few months in
name locally, and in face
nationally. „
Outgoing Secretary Mike Espy,
who announced his resignation
earlier this year so as to attend to
what he described as "personal”
matters, with the help of the former
U.S. Congress, had realigned and
renamed major segments of the
USDA structure.
In Pennsylvania, though the
names have changed significantly,
no USDA employees within the
former Soil Conservation Service
branch are to be fired.
In a news release made in
October about Congress approving
the restructuring of USDA, Espy
announced it as a victory for agri
culture, and a new beginning.
At the same time, he said it was a
new beginning for himself.
‘Today, as we stand at this new
beginning for USDA, I stand at a
new beginning for myself as well. I
must personally overcome the
challenge to my good name that
continues to distract from my work

Department of Agriculture, and by
numerous agricultural industries
in the state in an effort to help
improve the state’s dairy econo
my.
. Dairy farming is a business.
The two-day workshops are
designed to help dairy farmers
leant how to apply business man
agement principals to help
improve farm profits and quality
of life for the family. Farming is
also a team effort.
Thus, business partners and
husband-wife or parent-child busi
ness teams should attend the same
workshop together. To encourage
this, no tuition is being charged for
the second person from the same
farm attending the same work
shop.
