President Joe Biden has appointed former Indiana State Representative and Crothersville School Superintendent Terry Goodin to be the USDA’s state director for rural development.
Goodin grew up raising beef cattle on his family’s Austin farm, and he served for 24 years as the superintendent at Crothersville Community Schools before retiring this past January.
Goodin served for 20 years in the Indiana House of Representatives and was chosen by his colleagues as the House minority leader in 2017. He served on the State Budget Committee, was vice chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and was a member of the Agriculture and Rural Development Committee.
Goodin resides in Austin and continues to raise beef cattle on the family farm.
