USDA restored several climate-related web pages after facing lawsuits from environmental groups.
The Trump administration had directed staff to take down any pages focused on climate change. That included pages about the USDA’s loan and funding opportunities and some policy documents.
In a fourth filing earlier this week, USDA said that the removed pages would be restored in the next two weeks.
A plaintiff’s attorney said that farmers depend on the USDA’s websites to protect their farms from drought, wildfires, and extreme weather.
