The Agriculture Department lost 18% of its staff to voluntary resignations, retirements and for other reasons during the first five months of the Trump administration, with some agencies losing up to a third or more of their employees, according to a report by USDA’s inspector general. California lost the most workers, more than even D.C.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Monday it is too soon to know whether farmers will need compensation for the impact of President Donald Trump’s trade policy.
