With his inauguration less than two weeks away, Gov.-elect Mark Dayton has announced two more state agency commissioners, and they are both familiar figures at the Capitol. Dave Frederickson will head the Department of Agriculture, and Ken Peterson has gotten the nod to lead the Department of Labor and Industry.

Gov.-elect Mark Dayton has chosen David Frederickson to be the state's next agriculture commissioner. Frederickson is a former president of both the Minnesota Farmers Union and the National Farmers Union. He currently works in U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar's office as agriculture outreach director.
