(NAFB) – Farm groups welcome President Joe Biden’s nomination of Robert Bonnie to oversee The Department of Agriculture’s Farm Production and Conservation mission area as undersecretary.
FPAC is significant to agriculture and includes the Farm Service Agency, which manages commodity programs and the Conservation Reserve Program, the Risk Management Agency, which administers crop insurance, and the Natural Resources Conservation Service, which manages conservation programs other than CRP.
American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall says, “We appreciate his outreach and engagement with Farm Bureau during his tenure with the Biden administration, and we are hopeful he will remain fully engaged with farmers and ranchers in his new role.”

In 2016, then Natural Resources and Environment Undersecretary Robert Bonnie and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack spoke at a conference. Secretary Tom Vilsack s first undersecretary will lead FPAC at the department.
As the Biden administration and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack look to bring an increased focus on farmers mitigating the climate, President Joe Biden has tapped Robert Bonnie to serve as the undersecretary of Farm Production and Conservation at USDA.
Bonnie currently serves as Vilsack’s deputy chief of staff and senior climate adviser at USDA and headed up Biden’s transition team at the agency as well. During President Obama s first term, Bonnie served as senior adviser to Vilsack for environment and climate change. During Obama’s second term Bonnie was named the undersecretary for natural resources and environment where he oversaw the U.S. Forest Service and the Natural Resources Conservation Service
