Agriculture has always been an industry that focuses on what is next. It is shaped by farmers, leaders, advocates, and FFA members.
USDA plays an important role supporting that advancement. The head of the department and Texas FFA Alumni, Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins shared this message with the members in attendance at the 99th National FFA Convention.
“This organization has always been such a special and important part of my journey and my story... And eventually that led to my nomination by my boss and our great President, Donald J Trump. Not just as your 33rd Secretary of Agriculture but as the first ever state FFA officer to serve in this position.”
