(From the United States Department of Agriculture)
President Donald Trump's nomination of Rep. Ben Baker, R-Neosho, as Missouri state director of rural development was announced Friday by the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Baker posted the following statement on his X account:
Thank you President @realDonaldTrump for your confidence in appointing me as the State Director of Rural Development for the @USDA
It will be a great honor to serve your administration to Make America Great Again!
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins today (Friday) announced the latest slate of presidential appointments for key Farm Service Agency (FSA) and Rural Development (RD) State Director roles.
“When America’s farming communities prosper, the entire nation thrives. This new group of USDA appointees will ensure President Trump’s America First agenda is a reality in rural areas across the country. I am grateful for the leadership of these new state directors and look forward to their work reorienting the agency to put Farmers First again,” said Secretary Rollins.
FSA State Directors help implement President Trump’s America First agenda and execute the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) policies in planning, organizing, and administering FSA programs through state offices across the country. RD State Directors help affirm the mission of the Trump Administration by focusing on finding ways to empower rural America and unleash economic prosperity.

Ben Baker serves as State Director for Rural Development in Missouri. He is a former Missouri State Representative with a focus on government efficiency and public service. He lives in Neosho, Missouri, with his wife, Naomi, and their two daughters, living a life grounded in faith, family, and a relentless drive to serve his community.
(Note: Though the USDA press release refers to Baker as a former Missouri state representative, I haven't seen any official notice that he has resigned.)
Just wondering what act of cowardly fealty, besides bowing on both knees before pope orange peel, did this extremely partisan and divisive minion perform to get promoted?
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or is Baker another completely inexperienced and unqualified appointee?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, let's think about this. In trumpworld if an uneducated auctioneer can lead the IRS, then.............
