Perdue names Fordyce as FSA director

Former Missouri Ag Department Director Richard Fordyce has been named Administrator of the Farm Service Agency in Washington, DC.

Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue had named Fordyce as Missouri FSA director but today’s announcement means Fordyce will oversee the entire system.

The Farm Service Agency has 50 state offices and more than 21-hundred county offices.

Missouri Farm Bureau President Blake Hurst says: “Today is a good day for U.S. agriculture and Missouri agriculture. Richard Fordyce has been a friend for many years and an outstanding member of Missouri Farm Bureau. In 2015 he received our organization’s highest honor, the Distinguished Service Award. Richard has done an exceptional job in every role in which he has served, and I am sure he will do a great job for America’s farmers through his service as FSA Administrator.”
