Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring has appointed Shaun Quissell, of rural New Salem, as a senior inspector in the North Dakota State Meat and Poultry Inspection Program.

“Shaun has done an outstanding job as a meat inspector for the past three years and fully deserves this promotion,” Goehring said.

In his new position, Quissell will evaluate inspection performance, plan staff schedules, provide on-the-job and classroom training, conduct facility reviews of state-inspected establishments, and investigate consumer complaints.

Quissell graduated from South Dakota State University with a degree in animal science.
