Several media outlets reported that President-elect Joe Biden intends to nominate Tom Vilsack to return as USDA Secretary of Agriculture, a post he held for eight years under Barack Obama. National Farmers Union President Rob Larew says family farmers face significant challenges and need a strong Secretary of Agriculture to help them make it through in one piece.
“After eight years leading USDA, Tom Vilsack has the necessary qualifications and experience to steer the agency through turbulent times,” Larew says. United Fresh Produce Association CEO Tom Stenzel says, “Given COVID-19 and all its challenges, it’s vital to have experienced leaders who can hit the ground running.”
