More than a million birds have been culled over the last week after High-Path Avian Flu was found in several poultry facilities.

High-Path Avian Flu is a big area that Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins will have to tackle this year. Ag groups and farmers alike have questioned the requirement to cull entire flocks when the virus is found, with some arguing it has led to an increase in egg and chicken prices.
Rollins says she is already holding meetings on the USDA’s response.
