The Trump Administration recently appointed Eddie Fields as the new State Executive Director (SED) for the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Oklahoma. 

“When America’s farming communities prosper, the entire nation thrives.

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 Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins.

Our newly appointed state leaders bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to their position as SED, and they will play an integral role in shaping the future of agriculture in their state.”
