USDA partially reopens 2,100 offices Oct. 23 to deliver $3B in farm aid during shutdown.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is partially reopening about 2,100 field offices on October 23, 2025, to help farmers access $3 billion in existing aid programs despite the ongoing federal government shutdown.
The move focuses on essential services like crop insurance, disaster relief, and farm loans through the Farm Service Agency, with two paid staff members at each office funded by the Commodity Credit Corporation.
The USDA says the action ensures timely support during the critical harvest season, though not all services are available.
The decision has drawn praise from Republicans and farm groups for prioritizing rural communities, while Democrats have criticized it as politically motivated, arguing the reopenings should have happened sooner.
