Meyer to succeed Johansson as USDA chief economist (Successful Farming)

December 14, 2020


Successful Farming published an article on the new appointment of associate director of a University of Missouri think tank, Seth Meyer. Senior Research Fellow Joseph Glauber said, “Rob [Johansson] has really been in the thick of things…busy as any economist in the job.” During his tenure, Johansson was part of a reorganization that combined USDA’s farm support, crop insurance and land stewardship agencies into a new administrative wing and he oversaw the creation of a series of trade war and pandemic relief programs for farmers.
