WASHINGTON, D.C.—Growth Energy, the nation’s largest biofuel trade association, welcomed news that the Senate had approved the nomination of Luke Lindberg as the Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
“Our industry is confident that Lindberg will be a strong voice to speak on behalf of American farmers and ethanol producers on the global stage,” said Growth Energy CEO Emily Skor. “His experience at South Dakota Trade and at the Export-Import Bank make him uniquely qualified to take bold action on behalf of our industry and our farm partners, and we commend the Senate for taking quick action on his nomination. We look forward to working with Lindberg and other leaders at USDA to make sure American farmers and rural communities benefit from the Administration’s efforts to balance our trade relationships.”
