High-Path Avian Flu was front and center this week for Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins. She held a roundtable discussion with farmers looking for answers.
Rollins wanted their input on the best approach to solving the problem and ways to address egg shortages. They also talked about other issues in the industry, like disaster relief, input costs, and decreasing regulations.
Rollins says President Trump understands the situation rural communities are facing and says he is committed to supporting American farmers.
