Hoosier State Today

U.S. Senators Todd Young and Jim Banks are inviting applications for leadership roles within the United States Department of Agriculture at the state level. Interested individuals should submit their cover letter, resume, and up to three letters of recommendation to nominations@young.senate.gov by March 21, 2025.

The senators expressed their commitment to Indiana's agricultural community, stating, “As a top agriculture-producing state, Indiana’s ag community is filled with hard-working individuals dedicated to providing for our state, nation, and world. We look forward to nominating two qualified Hoosier leaders to continue serving our state in these roles.”

Young and Banks will review the applications and conduct interviews with selected candidates. Recommendations will be made to the Trump Administration, which will make the final appointment decisions. Once appointed by the White House, directors can begin their duties without requiring Senate confirmation.
