A line chart showing the annual changes of scores between the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Economic Research Service (ERS) and the National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA). The lines illustrate that between 2016 and 2018, the three organizations scores track with one another. However, in 2019, the ERS and NIFA both saw steep declines of roughly 25 to 30 points, while the USDA only declined by only a couple of points. The line breaks because scores starting in 2020 are not directly comparable with 2019 or earlier. However, both offices scores in 2020 have now restored to their original positions near or above the scores of the wider agency.
