USDA Chief Economist Seth Meyer will take a new role Jan. 1 with the University of Missouri leading its Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI).
FAPRI provides objective analysis of agricultural markets and policies for audiences including the U.S. Congress, USDA, commodity groups and international governments.
Meyer, a Mizzou graduate, has held various roles with USDA's Office of the Chief Economist and FAPRI over the years, including the head of the World Agricultural Outlook Board and assistant director of FAPRI until rejoining USDA in 2021 to serve as chief economist.
During his time at FAPRI, Meyer achieved an international reputation in research of agricultural and biofuel policy analysis and commodity market analysis, in addition to assuming a wide range of administrative responsibilities.
"This is a great opportunity to continue to provide solid agricultural policy development in support of the agricultural sector, cooperate with other faculty members and return home to Missouri," Meyer said. "I look forward to the opportunity to do more in-depth analysis and research. FAPRI provides the holistic picture; they are deliberate, objective. Both sides of the aisle call on them to make informed decisions."
Meyer will replace Pat Westhoff who is retiring Mar. 1.
