U.S. agriculture groups reacted to President-elect Donald Trump picking Brooke Rollins as his nominee for Secretary of Agriculture. “Brooke Rollins has fought for Main Street and rural America,” says National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Vice President of Government Affairs Ethan Lane. National Corn Growers Association President Kenneth Hartman Jr. says, “We’re ready to work on issues of importance to production agriculture, including expanding markets here and overseas for U.S. Corn.” Rob Larew, president of the National Farmers Union, hopes her rural roots instilled in her the important role that family farmers and ranchers play in supporting the national economy. National Sorghum Producers Chairwoman Amy France says this is an important moment for U.S. agriculture, and they are optimistic about the opportunities her leadership will bring to rural America. “We also look forward to working with the Secretary-designate to support our farmers and rural communities,” says Jack Pettus of the American Sugar Alliance.
