Randy Green, the owner of Watson Green LLC, has seen food and agriculture policy from all sides, having served in both the executive and legislative branches of government and in the private sector. Over his career he has been closely involved in the development of several multi-year farm bills, as well as major legislation and regulations affecting derivatives, food safety, animal health and human nutrition.

Randy came to Washington in the 1980s to work for former Representative Charles Stenholm (D-TX) and later served the late Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN.) on the staff of the Senate Agriculture Committee. With the exception of a stint as a deputy under secretary of agriculture, Randy served on the agriculture committee staff continuously from 1989 to 1999. The last two years he was chief of staff.

In 1999, Randy entered the private sector to represent agricultural and food industry clients at the firm now known as Watkinson Miller. Earlier in his career, he managed government relations for the American Soybean Association and was director of the Wheat Export Trade Education Center.

In 2013, Randy and Lisa Watson formed Watson Green LLC, a firm centered on food and agriculture policy and public affairs. With Lisa’s retirement at the end of 2022, Randy continues to operate the company.

Randy and his wife of 40 years, Mary, have five grown children and four grandchildren.
