Scoresby named executive director for USDA’s Farm Service Agency in Alaska

The Trump Administration recently appointed Bryan Scoresby as the new State Executive Director for the USDA Alaska Farm Service Agency. Scoresby joined the Alaska FSA team on Oct. 30, according to a press release.

Scoresby has a master’s degree in agribusiness management from Brigham Young University and began his career with the USDA in 1987. In 1992, he came to Alaska to serve as a District Director for FSA. Most recently, he has worked in the mortgage business for the past 21 years.

Scoresby lives in Palmer and said he looks forward to returning to a career working with the farm and ranch families of Alaska.

The Farm Service Agency serves farmers, ranchers and agricultural partners through the delivery of effective, efficient agricultural programs. The agency offers farmers a strong safety net through the administration of farm commodity and disaster programs. FSA continues to conserve natural resources and also provides credit to agricultural producers who are unable to receive private, commercial credit, including special emphasis on beginning, underserved and women farmers and ranchers.

As SED, Scoresby will oversee FSA programs in a customer-focused manner to ensure a safe, affordable, abundant and nutritious food supply for consumers, according to the release.
