Several ag groups are expressing congratulations and eagerness to work with newly confirmed US Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.
National Corn Growers Association President John Linder tells Brownfield he recently gifted a stone paper weight to Vilsack following his professional mantra to “leave no stone unturned”.
“He proudly is displaying it on his desk and his comment back was ‘I will use it as a reminder of who I serve.’ So it doesn’t get any better than that, to have the number one advocate for agriculture wanting to remember exactly where his base is.”
NASDA CEO barb Glenn says they are especially enthusiastic to work with Vilsack on shared priorities including protecting the food supply chain, advancing diversity and inclusion in agriculture, building markets and promoting science-based solutions to climate challenges.
