Trump Administration Appoints Edward Davidian to Serve as State Executive Director for USDA’s Farm Service Agency in Massachusetts

WASHINGTON, May 28, 2025 — The Trump Administration recently appointed Edward Davidian as the new State Executive Director (SED) for the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) in Massachusetts. Davidian joined the Massachusetts FSA team on May 5, 2025.

“When America’s farming communities prosper, the entire nation thrives. This new group of USDA appointees will ensure President Trump’s America First agenda is a reality in rural areas across the country. I am grateful for the leadership of these new state directors and look forward to their work reorienting the agency to put Farmers First again,” said Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins.

“FSA State Executive Directors serve in a critical role carrying out USDA’s mission at the state level — ensuring that our focus is on meeting the needs of local agricultural producers by putting farmers and ranchers first,” said FSA Administrator Bill Beam. “Rural communities need our support now more than ever. Our newly appointed state leaders bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to their position as SED and they will play an integral role in shaping the future of agriculture in their state.”

Davidian returns to FSA where he previously served as the FSA State Executive Director for Massachusetts during President Trump’s first term.  Davidian and his family run a fruit and vegetable farm in central Massachusetts. He previously served as Massachusetts Farm Bureau Federation President as well as Worcester County Farm Bureau President for three terms.

As SED, Davidian is responsible for overseeing the delivery of FSA programs to agricultural producers in Massachusetts. These commodity, conservation, credit, and disaster assistance programs ensure a safe, affordable, abundant and nutritious food, fiber, and fuel supply for all Americans.
