Indiana FSA State News Bulletin - June 10, 2025
WASHINGTON, June 10, 2025— The Trump Administration recently appointed Steve Brown as the new State Executive Director (SED) for the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Indiana. Brown joined the Indiana FSA team on May 5, 2025.
“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 Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins.
“FSA State Executive Directors serve in a critical role carrying out USDA’s mission at the state level — ensuring that our focus is on meeting the needs of local agricultural producers by putting farmers and ranchers first,” said FSA Administrator Bill Beam. “Rural communities need our support now more than ever. 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.”
Brown returns to FSA where he previously served as the FSA State Executive Director for Indiana during President Trump’s first term. He has been actively involved in his family farming operation for over 40 years. Brown is a former USDA employee with 32 years of experience working in Porter and Carroll counties as well as the Indiana State FSA Office. He was inducted into the Carroll County Agricultural Hall of Fame in 2023.
As SED, Brown is responsible for overseeing the delivery of FSA programs to agricultural producers in Indiana. These commodity, conservation, credit, and disaster assistance programs ensure a safe, affordable, abundant and nutritious food, fiber, and fuel supply for all Americans.
