Gov. Kim Reynolds(@IAGovernor):Iowans are in good hands with this confirmation. For over 40 years, Glen Smith has equipped farmers, landowners, and small businesses with the tools they need to succeed, in addition to operating his own family farm. I can't think of anyone with better firsthand experience to support the development of rural communities across the nation.

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.
