U.S. Department of Agriculture Strategic Goals for FY2018-2022 As part of our vision to make USDA the most efficient, most effective, and most customer-focused department in the federal government, we have established seven strategic goals for fiscal years 2018-2022. Our strategic goals outline key priorities and strategies, and objectives to achieve them. Over the next four years, we will continue to provide the best possible service to our customers - the farmers, ranchers, foresters, and producers of American agriculture and "do right and feed everyone."
