Iowa Ag Secretary Bill Northey says he’s “very seriously” interested in a role in the U.S. Department of Agriculture with new Secretary Sonny Perdue.
Northey ruled out running for the U.S. Senate in 2014 and cited his desire to continue working his family farm near Spirit Lake. If Northey joins the U-S-D-A, he’d likely quit active farming.
Northey repeatedly stressed to a group of reporters on a conference call that he has NOT been OFFERED a job in the U-S-D-A.
