CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) — President-elect Barack Obama will name former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack as his secretary of agriculture at a news conference scheduled for Wednesday, according to an Obama transition aide and a separate Democratic source.

Vilsack was a high-profile supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton during the presidential primaries after he briefly sought the Democratic presidential nomination.

At the same news conference, Obama will name U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar from Colorado as his choice for secretary of the interior, sources said.
