Former USDA undersecretary Ted McKinney has been named CEO of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture.
McKinney says he’s delighted to continue serving the country through advocating for state departments of agriculture and excited to set new horizons for NASDA and ensure agriculture thrives in all 50 states and four territories.
He most recently served as USDA Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs, and prior to that he was director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, where he was a NASDA member and served on multiple committees for the NASDA Foundation.
