The Biden administration plans to nominate Alexis Taylor as the Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Ag Affairs.
Taylor is currently the Oregon Ag Director. Many leading ag groups support the nomination, including the National Corn Growers and the American Soybean Association.
They are urging the Senate to move quickly to fill this critical role for U.S. ag, which has been vacant since President Biden took office.
