On her first full day on the job as U.S. Ag Secretary, Brooke Rollins traveled to Louisville for the National Farm Machinery Show on Friday evening.
Rollins says getting a new Farm Bill passed here in 2025 is a priority for both her and for President Trump.
Rollins also responded to the high number of bird flu cases across Indiana, Michigan and the rest of the U.S. leading to a huge loss in revenue for poultry producers—as well as a huge jump in egg and poultry prices for consumers.
In addition, Rollins says she pledges to “root out all waste, fraud, and abuse” at USDA as part of President Trump’s plan to make cuts to federal spending.
Rollins spent the day on Saturday morning at a farm in Shelbyville, Kentucky—where she was named an Honorary Ag Commissioner by Kentucky Ag Commissioner Jonathan Shell.
