Food policy is front and center today as the Senate Finance Committee holds the confirmation hearing for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the Federal Drug Administration (FDA).
Kennedy personally addressed American farmers and ranchers in his statements, emphasizing their vital role in shaping the nation’s culture, economy, and security.
“American farms are the bedrock of our culture, of our politics, of our national security,” Kennedy said. “I was a 4-H kid, and I spent my summer working on ranches. I want to work with our farmers. I want to work with our farmers and food producers. Remove burdensome regulations and unleash American ingenuity. I simply cannot succeed without a partnership with American farmers.”
Tomorrow, Kennedy will face the Senate Health, Education, and Labor Committee.
Industry-wide participation in SHIP enhances biosecurity and fosters global trust in U.S. pork, says swine health expert, Dr. Christine Mainquist-Whigham.
