  • CEO Salaries Were on the Rise. Then Came COVID-19
    September 9, 2020 Volume 16, Number 34 CEO salaries were on the rise. Then came COVID-19. The agriculture industry was able to wrap up its annual early-year blitz of meetings and conventions before the onset of the coronavirus led to months-long event cancellations, but with next year’s crop of meetings in jeopardy, organizations are taking a nervous look at their balance sheets — including what they pay their CEOs. “A key driver for a lot of organizations is going to be how are they now going to measure success?” asked Bob Skelton, the chief administrative officer at the American Society of Association Executives. Financial indicators have been an easy metric to follow in recent years; an organization with good cash flow generally means a CEO receives a healthy bonus or raise. In fact, Skelton said a 5% bump in pay had become standard for association executives across many different sectors. Now, with the lost revenue of canceled events, one area where there might be some savings is in payroll, specifically in the compensation of their top executives. The numbers reported in this year’s Agri-Pulse CEO salary report just might represent a peak of sorts, and the financial hit of COVID-19 could deal a blow to organizations that will require years of recovery. “The whole landscape right now is murky, and there’s going to be changes,” Skelton said. “We’re not going to know all the details about those changes for another year, but things are definitely going to look different.” www.Agri-Pulse.com 1 But prior to COVID-19, CEO salaries were on a predictable upward trajectory.

  • Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack Biography
    United States Department of Agriculture Secretary of Agriculture - Tom Vilsack Tom Vilsack serves as the Nation's 30th Secretary of Agriculture. As leader of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Vilsack is working hard to strengthen the American agricultura l economy, build vibrant rural communities and create new markets for the tremendous innovation of rural America. In more than six years at the Department, Vilsack has worked to implement President Obama's agenda to put Americans back to work and create an economy built to last. USDA has supported America's farmers, ranchers and growers who are driving the rural economy forward, provided food assistance to millions of Americans, carried out record conservation efforts, made record investments in our rural communities and helped provide a safe, sufficient and nutritious food supply for the American people. The Obama Administration and USDA have made historic investments in America's rural communities, helping create ladders of opportunity for rural people and building thriving rural economies for the long term. As chair of the first-ever White House Rural Council, Secretary Vilsack and USDA are taking steps to strengthen services for rural businesses and entrepreneurs by finding new ways to make the connection between the demand for investment in rural areas and the financial community. USDA is promoting American agriculture by conducting cutting-edge research and expanding markets at home and abroad. The years 2009-2014 represent the strongest six years in history for agricultural trade, and new trade agreements President Obama signed with Columbia, South Korea and Panama will create even more export opportunities for American farmers and ranchers.

  • ABC News: Benefits of a Presidential Bid 02/02/2007 08:36 AM
    ABC News: Benefits of a Presidential Bid 02/02/2007 08:36 AM Benefits of a Presidential Bid With So Many Candidates in the Field, What Happens to All the Losers? By WILLEM MARX Feb. 1, 2007 — - So far there are 20 bids in the presidential race. But have you ever wondered why the long-shot candidates even bother? Perhaps because even presidential losers can end up as financial winners. Beside the heavyweights like John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani and Barack Obama, many other politicians are vying for their party's nomination. This is nothing unusual, according to political science professor William Mayer of Northeastern University. "The nonincumbent party -- which in 2008 is the Democrats -- usually has a very large field, and on the Republican side they are in the same boat because there's no vice president [running for election]," Mayer said. The long-shot candidate's motto might be "remember Jimmy Carter." When the race for the 1976 Democratic nomination began, Carter was widely seen as a long shot. But by the time the primary season was half finished, he had left the other, better-known Democratic contenders in the dust. Nevertheless, today's field certainly has a number of candidates who could charitably be described as having outside chances. That includes Rep. Duncan Hunter of California. Hunter is a conservative in the Republican field, but he has barely registered a percentage point in the latest, albeit early, polling. In fact, the 14-term congressman is aiming to be the first sitting House member elected president since James Garfield in 1880.

  • Vilsack Facing Long To-Do List, Including Climate, Race, Rules
    January 6, 2020 Volume 17, Number 1 Vilsack facing long to-do list, including climate, race, rules Tom Vilsack is expected to have little trouble getting confirmed to another term as agriculture secretary. It's a good thing, because he'll have a lot to do the minute he walks in the door, starting with implementation of the COVID package just enacted. Farm policy veterans say Vilsack will also be expected to move simultaneously on two of President-elect Joe Biden's top priorities: addressing climate change and racial injustice. Vilsack also would likely move to reverse or halt some major regulatory actions by outgoing Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue, including rewriting a rule finalized in December that clarifies what constitutes “undue or unreasonable preference” in relationships between processors and producers. In addition, Vilsack will likely want to expeditiously fill key positions in the department. The speed of that process will be determined by who controls the Senate. (As we publish Wednesday morning, Democrats gained one of two Senate seats in Georgia’s twin runoff election and the second has yet to be called.) The department's deputy secretary, who serves as USDA's chief operating officer, and the department’s eight undersecretaries must be confirmed by the Senate. That process could take months even though the Senate Tom Vilsack on the campaign trail. Photo by Adam precedent no longer requires 60 votes to Schultz / Biden for President approve administrative nominations. Dale Moore, who served as chief of staff for USDA during the George W. Bush administration, thinks Vilsack is likely to go ahead and appoint deputy undersecretaries and agency administrators without waiting to get undersecretaries confirmed.
