On January 9, Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that USDA would close 259 offices across the country as part of the department’s Blueprint for Stronger Service. The plan, developed to combat federal budget cuts, will consolidate identified FSA offices with two or fewer employees that are within 20 miles of each other. Texas FSA offices in San Augustine, Center, Henderson, Gilmer, Linden, Canton, Giddings, Hempstead, Andrews, Goldthwaite, Midland, Stinnett, Miami , Del Rio and Cooper will be closed for consolidation.
