Sec. Rollins on the MAHA Report: The next report will better represent agriculture

Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins is currently testifying before the House Agriculture Committee. She is fielding questions on trade, animal health, and the MAHA report.

The MAHA Commission has until August 12th to submit their detailed plan, which Rollins says she will ensure better represents agriculture.

“My commitment is just that. I have worked, and have been unequivocal, on the record, how important these crop protection programs are, pesticides specifically, glyphosate, and others more specifically, and the President has as well. So we will continue that. There’s no doubt that we could do better on the next report, and my commitment is to do everything I can to ensure that our ag community is better presented.”
