Sec. Rollins met with Mississippi farmers ahead of her Oklahoma trip to talk New World Screwworm

Since taking office, Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins has been on the road, meeting with farmers and ranchers to hear their needs firsthand. The Mississippi Farm Bureau shows us how conversations went in the Magnolia State earlier this week.

According to MSFB, this is the first time in the group’s 103-year history that the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, a U.S. Senator, and the sitting governor of Mississippi have met together to discuss championing the state’s agriculture industry.
