U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins on Thursday announced the latest slate of presidential appointments for key Farm Service Agency (FSA) and Rural Development (RD) State Director roles.
“When rural America succeeds, our entire country is stronger. These newly appointed USDA state directors will play a critical role in advancing President Trump’s America First agenda in the states and ensuring that our farmers and ranchers are prioritized. Farm security is national security, and this Administration is prioritizing protecting small family farms for the next generation of American farmers. I appreciate these newly appointed directors’ commitment to our mission and look forward to seeing them lead with the kind of vision that puts American farmers and rural communities first,” said Secretary Rollins.
Mick Ditlevson serves as State Director for Rural Development in Minnesota. Most recently, he served as Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations to Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins. Ditlevson holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Pepperdine University and is a fifth-generation Steele County farmer.
