The Department of Agriculture Monday announce two senior appointments. USDA announced the appointment of Dr. Dewayne Goldmon as senior advisor for racial equity to the Secretary of Agriculture. Goldmon has served for the past year as Executive Director of the National Black Growers Council, a Washington, D.C.-based organization that advocates to improve the efficiency, productivity, and sustainability of Black row crop farmers. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says that with Goldmon, “we will build a USDA that represents and serves all Americans.” USDA also announced the appointment of Andy Green as senior advisor for fair and competitive Markets. Most recently, Green served as a Senior Fellow for Economic Policy at the Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C. Referring to Green’s future with USDA, Vilsack says, “We must create a more level playing field for small and medium producers and a more balanced, equitable economy for everyone working in food and agriculture.”
