I am an employee at the United States Department of Agriculture. I grew up on farms and ranches, so I recently started a new team called "USDA Supporters". So if any of you are farmers, ranchers, or enjoy food feel free to join.
----------------------------------------Additionally, I am currently working on a white paper to try and make BOINC and the WCG umbrella project available for installation on government workstations/laptops. At this time it is still in early draft stage. Link to my current draft: BOINC and the USDA  |

Good luck with this. Based on my experience as an employee with some local and state governments, you face an uphill battle. There are some bureaucrats who can not make a decision like this to save their soul. best of luck to you anyway.

Some semi-good news. A director at the USDA has agreed to review my draft white paper for clarity and purpose.

I have uploaded a new version of my white paper to google drive. The director gave me some great feedback regarding the paper. I am waiting for a few other feedback reviews to filter in before I submit it up the chain of command.
