Nixon nominates Brunthauer to farm post amid quiet Senate path
President Nixon moves to nominate Carroll G. Brunthauer as assistant secretary for farm policy with a background in agribusiness research and administration. Farm groups show little opposition after cautious early pushback over past ties to industry. Senate Agriculture Committee plans a swift voice-vote confirmation next week without a public hearing. Brunthauer, 40, a university trained economist, previously held roles at MSU, Grain and Feed Dealers National Association, Cook and Co affiliate, and ASCS, contributing to the flexible surplus control program introduced in 1970.

He warned against starving 208 million Americans by denying pesticides and called for limits on strikes by agricultural workers in perishable crops, backing a law similar to Arizona’s ban at harvest time.
