The suit said the agency’s actions hurt farmers who used the data to plan “agricultural decisions” and access funding, made it more difficult for climate researchers and advocates to do their jobs and “deprived the public” of “vital information.” USDA websites include the Forest Service, Food Safety and Inspection Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service.
“USDA should be working to protect our food system from droughts, wildfires, and extreme weather, not denying the public access to critical resources,” said Jeffrey Stein, an attorney at Earthjustice, the legal group that filed the suit.
