The American Soybean Association congratulates Richard Fordyce on his confirmation as USDA Under Secretary for Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC), Dudley Hoskins as USDA Under Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs (MRP), and Dr. Scott Hutchins as USDA Under Secretary for Research, Education, and Economics (REE).
“Richard, Dudley and Scott are trusted leaders with deep agricultural experience and proven records of service,” said ASA CEO Stephen Censky. “I had the privilege of working closely with all three during my time at USDA, and I know they are outstanding public servants. Richard’s background as a farmer and former FSA Administrator uniquely positions him to guide FPAC programs that farmers rely on. Dudley’s policy expertise and understanding of MRP’s role will benefit farmers and ranchers across the country. Scott’s leadership in REE will ensure science-based research and innovation continue to drive agriculture forward.”
ASA looks forward to working with all three to strengthen farm programs, conservation efforts, market access, and agricultural research.
