I am also sure that the USDA is interested in constructive criticism, but
will have difficulty responding to a general term like "disgraceful". I am
also sure there must be some aspects which are not disgraceful.
Could you elaborate on what features of the current service you would like
to see improved, seeing as I assume you have some experience with the
service. A suggestion as to a fee that would seem nominal to you would be
interesting, too.
I should add that there are independent services which provide some analysis
for a fee, which I assume covers the cost and hopefully a small profit, and
the question of whether government should compete with private initiative is
always thorny.
