USDA linked to AI?
From AI meat inspectors, geo fencing, and more. It seems Rollin's new plan seeks to ensure control of the food system.
It was recently revealed by Brooke Rollins, Secretary of Agriculture, that the USDA office was reorganizing, with offices being relocated, and much of Washington’s office closer to farms and ranchers.
Key focuses of this plan:
Bring the USDA closer to its constituents
Reduce costs and bureaucracy
Streamline functions
On the outside, it seems to be good, but what I find when digging into what is truly going on, many departments are being replaced by AI systems and automation.
The reality, we aren’t shrinking the government; we are making it more powerful and all-seeing, which I know many are against, but they have simply repackaged it to sound better.
Using buzzwords like: automation, innovation, efficiency—those sound good, but they are simply copouts for implementing AI technology and robotics.
What is concerning is that instead of bolstering local farming communities and learning better sustainable practices, the plan is utilizing an artificial system that will increase energy prices, use massive amounts of water, and give the ability for a full control grid to be implemented.
On July 12, 2025, the USDA, DHS, and others released the Farm Security National Act, a 12-page guide that shares that Chinese-owned farm land is a national threat and the need to close supply chain gaps. While I agree with much of this, does anyone ask how they seek to do this?

Working with DARPA to develop technologies, creating more vaccines, therapeutics, and other innovations for security and safety. To ensure that no more foreign entities purchase farm land? Increase reporting and paperwork through AFIDA, which has brought concern that this opens the door to more surveillance.
You notice a pattern in the current administration, that to solve every issue, it employs surveillance technology and more data collection. If you know anything about technocracy, this is directly out of their playbook.
The issue with AI, it’s far more powerful at watching, tracking, and automating. It can be programmed to create specific algorithms for each individual. Many do not grasp this because we are constantly being told to look at other things, like Obama being arrested, but being told he has immunity.
So, how does this new reorganizing plan fit with AI? Brooke has already stated that agricultural work being done by immigrants can easily be replaced by robots, while focusing on innovation, efficiency, and modernization.
Something to be clear, this didn’t magically start with Trump’s administration, it goes back to Obama, Biden, and more. This has been a gradual process of legally implementing AI and essentially allowing a control grid.
Previous articles concerning previous administrations:
During 2020, Trump launched the Agriculture Innovation Agenda, which bolstered the use and research into using AI in agriculture. Biden continued this initiative. Now, in 2025, it seems the agenda can continue at full force.

The USDA FSIS (Food Safety and Inspection Service) will begin exploring more AI technology for inspection and food safety.
analyzing images and videos for defects and quality control concerns
using AI data sets for plants to ensure efficiency and safety
Implementing bio-sensors to ensure temperature, quality, and safety regulations
Vimaan Robotics, INC secured a contract with the USDA of $1 million. This company was founded by venture capital firms from Silicon Valley and seeks to help with AI automation in agriculture and manufacturing. From meatpackaging to crop monitoring.
The aim is to increase efficiency and have a smaller human workforce. A machine will decide what is safe and effective for us to consume. While AI is programmed by humans, the issue that I have is the race to Artificial Super Intelligence, which surpasses human intelligence, it will no longer need humans to program.
Rollins plans to disperse federal workers to Idaho, Missouri, Colorado, and states closer to farmers. Over 2,600 workers will be moved to 5 hubs, and it is cited that federal workers will reduce their cost of living and take a pay cut.
Reducing government bloat is a great idea, but their thought is to do it by enhancing AI while also replacing jobs and mass data collection. It seems the plan to fix the threat of our food system and ensure we don’t starve can only be done with AI.
Joel Salatin and many regenerative farmers alike prove this is the farthest thing from the truth.
They plan on implementing Blockchain technology with AI to track every process of agriculture, from the soil, crops, to animals. This will be done with RFID tags, biosensors, vaccines, and more.
Bill Gates being a strong supporter of implementing AI into farming practices.
AI will be cheaper to run given Trump’s AI plan, tax cuts for tech companies creating AI infrastructure, and the low pay to actual employees, government, or private.
It’s a win-win situation for the government and private companies.
The massive data collection that will continue with the USDA implementing AI. I’ve shared about AI being integrated in agriculture, from satellite imaging, using AI for crops, pesticide spraying, and more—it will continue to grow.
These companies and our government will continue to have full control of our food. This is what is concerning—an all-seeing machine with full control over our resources? Does anyone not see the problem in this?
Will this be best for consumers? Absolutely not.
The massive price for integrating these machines into manufacturing, meat plants, and farming is crippling for small operations. This will continue the monopoly of huge companies like JBS, Tyson, and Smithfield.
The USDA is offering grants for farmers who seek to implement this technology, but will this just increase financial strain and debt for the farmer? According to the USDA farming debt is growing past half a trillion. From growing interest rates and the increase in equipment, manufacturing, and more.
It’s not sustainable for the farmer or consumer; it seems the goal is to make it sustainable for the government and private corporations, continuing the monopoly.
From the facts available, it doesn’t appear Rollin’s new plan will help the small farmers; it will only increase the control and profit for large corporations. This will also ensure that agriculture will be integrated into what is known as the Internet of Bodies. The idea is that everything on earth, living or not, is connected to the grid.
It’s to be noted that our government, DARPA program, is currently developing and researching a living pharmacy through implants in the human body, brain machine interfaces, engineering plants with biosensors, and many more. Our government is funding this research.
Creating food from water and air? DARPA’s program Corncupia seeks to do this.
Too few are aware of this technocrat takeover, but as citizens, we need to be informed.
More that has been in the works and will be able to be implemented with these changes is geo fencing, which will track water usage, animals, cropping layouts, and field health. It’s pure dystopian and directly enhances the Internet of bodies, control grid-Agenda 2030.
As always, create a resilient home and ripple that out to your community. True health starts with what God gave us, not man’s pursuit to be smarter or all-knowing. The time to be tapping into our roots and what has kept humanity alive for centuries is here.
A Christian asked me a few days ago, What is evil about AI, besides the founders mainly being atheists and believing it is the savior of humanity—The pursuit is strikingly similar to the Tower of Babel.
Humanity’s pursuit to be like God is contagious and dangerous. How can we Christians support that?

"It doesn’t appear Rollin’s new plan will help the small farmers; it will only increase the control and profit for large corporations." Agree. Thank you for educating us.
