We are the regulator of the Farm Credit System and Farmer Mac. Our mission is to ensure a safe, dependable source of credit for agriculture and rural America.
We’re proud to announce the Senate confirmation of Glen R. Smith to serve as under secretary for rural development @USDA.
Glen served the Farm Credit Administration with distinction as board chairman & CEO and as a board member since 2017. His steady leadership strengthened the safety and soundness of the Farm Credit System while keeping a sharp focus on the credit needs of farmers, ranchers, and rural communities across America.
As a fifth-generation Iowa farmer and agribusiness leader, Glen brought real-world experience and a deep commitment to rural America to everything he did @FCAgov.
Congratulations, Glen! We’re confident you’ll bring the same dedication and insight to @USDArd.
