  • Message from the Secretary
    Message from the Secretary In the 2 years since the last Honor Awards Ceremony, our Nation – and the agricultural community in particular – has undergone some challenging times. The Gulf Coast is still recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Our farmers and ranchers in the Western states have been enduring a long and damaging drought. Across the country, fires have threatened our forests and nearby communities. Despite these hardships, however, agriculture is thriving in the United States. We’re forecasting a record $68 billion in exports this year and farm equity has reached an all-time high of $1.6 trillion. Our expanded BSE surveillance program proved that we have an extremely low prevalence of BSE here. We reopened the channels of beef trade with Japan and other countries. We unveiled MyPyramid to help Americans improve their diets and their lifestyles. We completed a nationwide listening tour to gather input directly from our farmers and ranchers for the next farm bill. We’ve developed a comprehensive plan to manage strains of avian influenza that cause concern, and we’ve been able to provide assistance to other countries that are dealing with this disease. We have been able to celebrate these successes and many others in large part due to the efforts of USDA employees. The work that they do makes a difference in peoples’ lives every day, and there is no greater accomplishment than that. The Honor Awards recognize truly outstanding service by USDA employees; those who have achieved exceptional results because of their dedication, leadership and hard work. The men and women we are honoring today deserve our thanks and congratulations, and I am proud to celebrate their contributions to the success of the Department of Agriculture.
