AFBF Comments on Nomination of Brooke Rollins for Agriculture Secretary

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on the nomination of Brooke Rollins for Secretary of Agriculture.

"We congratulate Brooke Rollins on her nomination to be Secretary of Agriculture. We're pleased she has a good relationship with our state Farm Bureau in Texas and hope to build on it if she's confirmed by the Senate. We're encouraged by her statement that she'd ‘fight for America’s farmers and our nation’s agricultural communities.’ Effective leadership at USDA is more important than ever as farmers and ranchers face a struggling agricultural economy."
