Accesibility
USDA - ARS is committed to making its web sites accessible to all USDA
customers and employees. All of the agency web sites are undergoing
review and redesign as necessary to ensure that they meet or exceed
the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Many of our web sites currently meet the Section 508 accessibility
standards. Furthermore, USDA - ARS continues to work on making all
web sites accessible. Thank you very much for your patience through
this redesign process. If you have any comments or suggestions for
improvement, please contact the
