Senate confirms Bronaugh as USDA deputy secretary
In action Thursday evening, the U.S. Senate confirmed Dr. Jewel H. Bronaugh by voice vote to serve as deputy secretary of agriculture at USDA. The action is a historic step of confirming the first African-American woman to serve as deputy secretary at USDA.
In congratulating her on the confirmation, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack notes, “Bronaugh has a long, distinguished career as an educator and champion for farmers and rural communities. Most recently as the commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, she worked to expand opportunities for small and midsized farmers and ranchers to obtain infrastructure and processing capabilities, and develop strategies to meet environmental and water quality goals for the Chesapeake Bay.”

A new study by researchers from the University of Illinois and The Ohio State University, published in JDS Communications, found that 66 percent of the commercial kefir products studied overstated microorganism density and 80 percent contained bacterial species that were not included on the label, potentially misleading consumers.
