Block fires conservation chief and names Missouri farmer
Agriculture Secretary John Block replaces Norman Berg with Peter Myers of Missouri as head of the Soil Conservation Service. The move draws sharp criticism from Sen. Roger Jepsen who fears politicizing the agency and pushes for Senate confirmation in the future. Berg, a 39 year career veteran from Burlington, Iowa, is asked to retire. Myers would be the first nonprofessional to lead the agency, with locals divided over the change.
