Perdue Announces Louisiana Farm Service Agency State Committee Appointments

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue has announced a slate of Farm Service Agency (FSA) State Committee Appointees. State committees are selected by the Secretary, serve at the pleasure of the Secretary, and are responsible for carrying out FSA’s farm programs within delegated authorities.

“The State Committees will help to ensure USDA is providing our farmers, ranchers, foresters, and agricultural producers with the best customer service,” Secretary Perdue said. “They serve as a liaison between USDA and the producers in each state across the nation by keeping them informed and hearing their appeals and complaints. The committees are made up mostly of active farmers and ranchers, representing their peers and ensuring USDA’s programs are supporting the American harvest.”

The following is a list of  the members of the Louisiana Committee:

Committee Chair Ray Young - Wisner
Julie Baker-Richard – Abbeville
John Earles, II – Bunkie
Emery Jones – Natchez
Donna Winters - Lake Providence
