Reorganisasyon ang sumalubong sa pagpasok ng bagong taon sa Department of Agriculture (DA).

Sa inilabas na pahayag ng opisina ni Sec. Francisco Tiyu Laurel Jr., ipinaliwanag na ang balasahan ay para mas makasunod ang kagawaran sa mga direktiba ni Pangulong Marcos Jr., at mapaigting ang operasyon ng kagawaran.

Si Usec. Leocadio Sebastian ay naitalaga bilang miyembro ng Technical Advisory Group ng opisina ni Laurel dahil sa malawak ang karanasan at kaalaman nito sa sektor ng agrikultural lalo na sa produksyon ng bigas.
