Trump's USDA secretary pick led group opposed to ethanol, farm subsidies

The article from MSN discusses President Trump's nomination of Sonny Perdue as the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. Perdue, a former Georgia governor, has a background in agribusiness and was previously involved with a group known as the Environmental Working Group (EWG), which has been critical of ethanol mandates and farm subsidies. This group advocates for less government intervention in agriculture, which contrasts with traditional support for ethanol and subsidies that benefit many farmers. Critics are concerned that Perdue's past affiliations might influence his policies in ways that could disadvantage certain agricultural sectors, particularly those reliant on ethanol production and subsidies. However, supporters argue that his business experience and understanding of modern farming practices could bring innovation and efficiency to the USDA.
