Farm Hands West: Zoetis selects Peck as new CEO

10/08/19 5:20 PM By Hannah Pagel

Kristin Peck is the new CEO of Zoetis and Kevin Bailey has left the Senate Ag Committee to join the Glover Park Group.

This week’s guest on Open Mic is Tim Palmer, president of the National Association of Conservation Districts. With a continued emphasis on climate change and sustainability in Washington, the work of conservation stewards nationwide is coming into clear view. The Iowa farmer says conservation practices help to mitigate national disasters like floods and wildfires. Palmer welcomes new initiatives by farm groups and USDA to reduce farming’s environmental impact while increasing productivity. Conservation programs survived debate in the 2018 farm bill, but Palmer says program funds should be maintained and staff restored to local conservation offices.
