With Tom Vilsack’s return as U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and the 25th anniversary of the Silos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area, we recognize Iowans’ unprecedented leadership in American agriculture. Five Iowans have led the U.S. Department of Agriculture since its founding in 1862. That’s more than any other state, and their collective leadership has influenced food production throughout the world. James Wilson, Edwin T. Meredith, the father and son duo of Henry C. Wallace and Henry A. Wallace, and Tom Vilsack have shaped policies for agriculture, conservation, rural life, food and nutrition programs, and much more.
