If confirmed, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says he wants to work with farmers and ranchers.
Robert F Kennedy Jr. spent more than four hours before a Senate panel and said farmers are a big part of his vision to “make America healthy again.”
“What we need to do is we need to support the farmers,” Kennedy said. “We need the farmers as partners if we’re going to make them work. I don’t want a single farmer to go out of business under our watch.”
Kennedy will appear before the Senate Health, Education, and Labor Committee today.
“If I’m privileged to be confirmed, I won’t regulate farms — that’s under USDA,” Kennedy stated. “But with all of my decisions, I want to partner with USDA and with the farm community, to make sure that we don’t lose more farmers in this country, but we also transition. We offer and incentivize transitions, regenerative agriculture, and no-till agriculture to be less chemically intensive. By the way, I’ve met with the chemical industry and the fertilizer and herbicide companies, and they want to do the same thing.”
Curing title defects in an agricultural context requires a blend of traditional real estate law and a deep understanding of rural land use history.
