U.S. Senators Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Jim Banks (R-Ind.) announced that they are soliciting applications for United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) state-level leadership positions.
Interested candidates must send their cover letter, resume, and up to three letters of recommendation to nominations@young.senate.gov by March 21 for the following positions:
- State Executive Director of the Farm Services Agency (FSA) – The State Executive Director will help implement USDA farm policy, oversee FSA operations, and administer FSA programs in Indiana.
- State Director of Rural Development – The State Director of Rural Development will help ensure rural development focuses on locally driven, community economic development strategies that build on the diverse assets and needs of rural communities throughout Indiana.
“As a top agriculture-producing state, Indiana’s ag community is filled with hard-working individuals dedicated to providing for our state, nation, and world. We look forward to nominating two qualified Hoosier leaders to continue serving our state in these roles,” said Senators Young and Banks.
Young and Banks will review all submitted applications and select the most qualified candidates to interview for further consideration. They will then make recommendations to the Trump Administration, which will make the final decision on the nominees. Once named by the White House, the respective directors can assume their responsibilities. Senate confirmation is not required.
