DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE: Ag Sec. Brooke Rollins discusses HPAI, Tariffs, Trade, and USDA cuts

Commodity Classic, America’s largest farmer-led, farmer-focused agricultural and educational experience, is currently underway in Denver, Colorado.

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.
