American farmers are facing significant hardship. Billions in losses, a stalled Farm Bill, escalating input costs, and regulatory burdens threaten the livelihood of family farms. However, with the return of a pro-agriculture administration, there's renewed hope.
Brooke Rollins, President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Agriculture, is the leader American agriculture needs. Having served in the White House alongside Ms. Rollins, I witnessed her dedication to the America First vision. As Director of the Domestic Policy Council and the Office of American Innovation, she played a key role in fostering economic growth and dismantling burdensome regulations like the Waters of the United States policy.
Brooke's agricultural expertise is not just theoretical. Raised in a Texas farming community, she has firsthand experience with the challenges facing farmers. Her background in agriculture at Texas A&M, coupled with her involvement in 4-H and FFA, demonstrates her deep commitment to the industry.
Recent visits with Arkansas farmers highlighted the severity of the agricultural crisis. Rising costs and stagnant market prices are forcing many out of the industry. This represents not only an economic crisis, but a cultural one, threatening the very fabric of rural communities.
Brooke Rollins recognizes the urgency of this situation. Her priorities include collaborating with Congress to pass a much-needed updated Farm Bill, cutting red tape, and enhancing rural connectivity. She is committed to strengthening American food security and achieving President Trump's vision for a dominant America.
A nation's ability to feed, fuel, and defend itself is paramount to its survival. We are at a critical juncture, and Brooke Rollins possesses the leadership qualities necessary to navigate these challenges. Confirming her as Secretary of Agriculture is essential to supporting American farmers, safeguarding our agricultural industry, and preserving our way of life.
