Farm Bureau Appreciates USDA Strategy to Fight Avian Influenza

American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall commented today on USDA’s strategy to combat Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza.

“We appreciate USDA’s blueprint for tackling avian influenza. America’s farmers are committed to ensuring a safe and abundant food supply, and these investments to advance biosecurity and research will further equip them to combat the threat of HPAI. Additionally, efforts to prevent state and federal trade and regulatory barriers that unfairly hit consumers’ pocketbooks will benefit all Americans.

“Farm Bureau looks forward to working with Secretary Rollins and the expert team at USDA to bring HPAI under control while ensuring solutions are safe, effective and practical.”
