Arthur Keyes has been appointed by the US Department of Agriculture to serve as Alaska’s executive director of the Farm Service Agency.
Keyes, owner of Glacier Valley Farm in Palmer, has years of Alaska agricultural experience, including serving as the director of the Alaska Division of Agriculture from 2016 to 2019.
Keyes was a produce manager for the Carrs supermarket chain until 2002, when he began working as a full-time farmer.
The Farm Service Agency serves a number of programs, including loans, price support, and commodity programs to stabilize farm income and promote agricultural productivity. The work includes direct and guaranteed loans for farm ownership, operations and emergency loans and disaster relief programs to help farmers recover from natural disasters or economic losses.
Ridiculous waste of resources.
What are you talking about David food. ?.? We have a terrible food shortage problem and you’re blasting anti ag propaganda.
