Bob Morgan: USDA State Director of Rural Development

Check out this episode, as we talk with Bob Morgan, the Pennsylvania State Director of Rural Development for the USDA. Bob walks us through the educational and career paths that led him to this career and gives an excellent overview of the USDA. 

We learn about the rural development program and how it supports rural communities all over Pennsylvania and around the nation. By providing new opportunities and alternative funding options, the USDA is allowing rural communities to thrive. We discuss how agriculture and agricultural businesses play a huge role in rural communities and the specific efforts the rural development team is making to improve the quality of life for farmers in rural areas. 

Although this may not be the first thing that comes to your mind when looking at different careers in agriculture, it is an important part of the rural lifestyle that we love. I hope that you enjoy this conversation and can take something away from it.
