The US Farm Service Agency removed its own obsolete rules

The US Farm Service Agency is cutting outdated rules from its books. This means the agency is cleaning up its internal rulebook, but it will not change anything for farmers or other customers.

Government agencies often accumulate rules over decades that no longer apply or contradict newer policies. These old rules can make it harder for staff to do their jobs and for the public to understand what is required. Removing them is a housekeeping task that can make an agency more efficient, even if it does not directly change public behavior.
