Scuse Has Always Hung His Hat Up In Delaware

Department of Agriculture | Featured Posts | News | Date Posted: Friday, December 20, 2024

Unlike Toby Keith’s song, Should’ve Been a Cowboy, Michael T. Scuse truly is Delaware’s cowboy. Growing up on his family farm in Smyrna, his love for the land is in his blood. Combined with his skill in riding Paint horses, sporting cowboy boots and his black cowboy hat, and his values which align with the cowboy code of conduct, Scuse has significantly impacted Delaware agriculture throughout his lifetime. When Governor Minner nominated Scuse to serve as Delaware’s ninth Secretary of Agriculture in 2001, she saw potential when perhaps he only had a “dream in his eye and a prayer in his heart.” But no matter where life has taken him, Secretary of Agriculture Michael T. Scuse has always hung his hat up in his home state of Delaware, fighting to ensure agriculture remains Delaware’s top industry.
