Senate Ag hearing Thursday on Scuse, other nominees

The Senate Agriculture Committee will hold a hearing Thursday on three of President Barack Obama’s nominees whose positions require Senate confirmation, a spokesman for Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said today.

The committee will first consider the nomination Michael Scuse of Delaware to be Agriculture undersecretary for farm and foreign agricultural services and a member of the board of directors of the Commodity Credit Corporation.

The committee will also consider the nominations of former Iowa Democratic Gov. Chester John “Chet” Culver and Bruce Sherrick of Illinois to be members of the board of directors of the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation.
