On Tuesday, Indiana Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch announced the resignation of Indiana State Department of Agriculture (ISDA) Director Bruce Kettler, whose last day will be January 6th.

After his last day as director, Kettler will take a position as president and CEO of the Agribusiness Council of Indiana.

Governor Eric Holcomb appointed Kettler to his position in January 2018.

“My five years at the ISDA will hold a special place in my professional career,” Kettler said. “Leading the team of dedicated individuals working at ISDA has been very rewarding, and I know they will continue their dedication for the next director.”

A search will immediately begin for Kettler’s successor.
