President Obama late Thursday nominated Edward Avalos, a New Mexico agriculture marketing official, to be USDA undersecretary for marketing and regulatory programs.
Avalos has spent 34 years in agriculture marketing, including promoting the sale of chile peppers in 12 states; sheep, goats and cattle in Mexico; and pecans in Japan and China. The position requires Senate confirmation.
