Commodity Classic, America’s largest farmer-led, farmer-focused agricultural and educational experience, is currently underway in Denver, Colorado.
The 2025 show, entitled “Elevating Excellence in Agriculture,” featured Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, who delivered her remarks as the event got underway.
RFD-TV’s Kirbe Schnoor had the chance to speak with Sec. Rollins, who talked about the main issues facing the industry today: the response to her High-Path Avian Flu strategy, how USDA will protect farmers with tariffs, her Farm Bill priorities, and how USDA cuts could impact producers.
