Horticulturists, Biologists, Engineers: Federal ‘Bloat’ or Valued Experts? President Trump’s effort to remake the government is a direct challenge to a decades-long effort to build a civil service stocked with experts. Critics say it will backfire.

Cutting the jobs of those who look after the future of our #food at the national plant germplasm system in the US? Great plan. #agrobiodiversity #genebank
