of the grain industry, including, but not 

limited to, grain producers, processors, 

handlers, merchandisers, consumers, 

exporters, and scientists. Therefore, 

when making recommendations for 

appointments, the industry must 

consider the diversity of the population

diverse population.

have taken in account the needs of the 

diverse groups served by USDA,

possible, individuals with demonstrated 

ability to represent minorities, women, 

and person with disabilities. USDA is
