JAKE CHISHOLM, OF GARY, NAMED STAFF DIRECTOR FOR HOUSE AGRICULTURE SUBCOMMITTEE

House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson (D-Minnesota) announced two additions to Ag Committee staff, and the elevation of Prescott Martin III. 

Jake Chisholm will serve as Staff Director for the Subcommittee on General Farm Commodities and Risk Management. A graduate of North Dakota State University with a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Economics and Crop & Weed Sciences, Chisholm is a fourth-generation producer and partner in his family’s farm near Gary, Minnesota, that produces spring wheat, soybeans, dark red kidney beans, corn, and sugarbeets.

Justina Graff will serve as the Deputy Clerk for the House Agriculture Committee. Graff recently served as an Intern for the committee and returns in this new role from Texas A&M University. Graff grew up on a sixth-generation working farm and ranch in Hondo, Texas.

In addition to the new hires, Prescott Martin III, counsel for commodity and conservation programs during the 2018 farm bill, was promoted to Chief Counsel.

“Jake, Justina, and Prescott know agriculture firsthand, and we are lucky to have their wisdom and guidance on the committee. Their roles are critical to the operation of the committee, and I know they will work hard,” said Peterson.
