All morning, Agriculture Secretary nominee Brooke Rollins has been in the hot seat before the Senate Ag Committee.
Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville stressed the importance of the trade deficit, lowering input costs, and being someone that the farmers can go to. He asked Brooke Rollins if she would commit to doing dialogue with President Donald Trump.
“We have to find a better way, and it can’t always come through government subsidies. We’ve got to expand the market, we’ve got to figure out input costs. One of President Trump’s top priorities was food inflation. This comes before food inflation because this itself will drive the cost of food down if we do our jobs, and if we’re able to produce for our ag community the way that I believe that we can, working together.”
