USDA office in Bakersfield to stay open following Trump administration's reversal of decision
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Eight of the nine U.S. Department of Agriculture offices in California that were slated to close, including the location in Bakersfield, will remain open, according to a press release from Sen. Adam Schiff's office. The eight offices that will stay open are those in Bakersfield, Blythe, Los Angeles, Madera, Oxnard, Salinas, Woodland and Yreka. The offices in Mt. Shasta and the newly added Brea office were not removed from the termination list, according to Schiff. 'Following my call to the Trump administration to reverse their plans to close USDA offices across California, I am pleased to announce that Secretary Rollins has informed me of their work with the General Services Administration (GSA) to ensure that many of these USDA offices will remain open,' Schiff said in the release. Privacy and hunger groups sue over USDA attempt to collect personal data of SNAP recipients Schiff (D-Calif.) previously led seven Democratic Congress members in California in May to urge the department and the Department of Government Efficiency to reverse their plan to close offices in nine locations throughout California. The letter addressed to the administration said California is the largest agricultural state in the U.S. 'These terminations come at a time when farmers are already navigating an uncertain agricultural economy due to USDA funding freezes and cancellations as well as the impact of tariffs,' the letter said. 'Closing these vital centers will make it more difficult for farmers to access the essential resources farmers must be able to rely on.'

The letter was also signed by Salud Carbajal (D-Calif.-24), Adam Gray (D-Calif.-13), Jim Costa (D-Calif.-21), Jared Huffman (D-Calif.-02), Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.-37), Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.-18) and Jimmy Panetta (D-Calif.-19).
