American Farmers & Ranchers is lauding the appointment of Scott Biggs as state executive director of the USDA Farm Service Agency for Oklahoma.  Biggs, a livestock producer and former Prosecutor for the Grady County District Attorney's office, is currently a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives.

The USDA has made a great choice in selecting Scott Biggs as the new FSA executive director. Biggs will use his background in agriculture and the legal system to serve Oklahoma's farmers and ranchers. We can't think of a better choice.

Terry Detrick, AFR President

Earlier this year AFR presented Biggs with the organizations' Advocacy award. After receiving the award, Biggs said "I am extremely grateful to receive an award for doing something I love, advocating for agriculture."

The Chickasha, Okla., agriculture producer is known for his outspoken efforts to protect agriculture which is state's second largest industry behind the oil and gas sector. Biggs operates a private practice law firm and has also served as loan officer and small business advocate for Rural Enterprises, Inc.
