As part of its celebration of National Agriculture Day, USDA hosted a youth leadership panel at its Washington, DC headquarters. Young leaders from The National FFA Organization, National 4-H Council, Agriculture Future of America and the National Grange Youth Organization, among other groups, engaged with USDA senior leaders who shared their experiences, including Senior Advisor to the Secretary for Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services Jennifer Tiller, Administrator of the National Agriculture Statistics Service Joseph Parsons, Administrator of the Foreign Agricultural Service Daneil Whitely, and Chief Economist Seth Meyer. This was an opportunity for students to learn more about the professional backgrounds of the USDA leaders advancing our nation’s strategic priorities in food, agriculture, natural resource and human services. USDA is proud to partner with student organizations to assist youth to meet and exceed their potential and unlock countless career paths.
