USAgNet - 09/24/2020

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced that USDA Deputy Secretary Stephen Censky will be departing November 8, 2020. He will be returning to become the CEO of the American Soybean Association (ASA), a position in which he previously served for 21 years.

"There is no doubt that I personally, as well as the whole USDA family will miss Steve's experience, preparedness, and steady leadership. During his tenure as Deputy Secretary, we accomplished a great deal in a short amount of time even in the face of serious challenges in American agriculture," said Secretary Perdue. "Steve's roots are in agriculture and he is one of the best and most professional public servants America has. His wise counsel helped us make USDA the most efficient, effective, customer-focused department in the entire federal government, and I am forever grateful for his invaluable guidance and input. I join the entire USDA family in wishing Steve and his family all the best as he heads back to ASA in November."

Censky says it has been an honor to serve at USDA for the past three years.

"I am humbled to have served a role in implementing a Farm Bill, launching the USDA's Agriculture Innovation Agenda, supporting America's farmers against trade retaliation, and now assisting farmers and ranchers and feeding families affected by the coronavirus pandemic," said Deputy Secretary Censky.

He will begin his new role on November 9.
