Support for Rollins

President-Elect Donald Trump’s nomination for agriculture secretary is receiving praise from farm groups. Texas Farm Bureau Director of Communications Gary Joiner thinks Brooke Rollins’ background and familiarity with the Trump administration is a plus. “It’s not much of a surprise when you see how she fits within the Trump administration’s goals going forward with their cabinet picks. I think she brings a passion for agriculture,” said Joiner. “She talks about Texas Farm Bureau, 4-H and FFA being the reason she could attend college.” U.S. Meat Export Federation CEO Dan Halstrom is also excited about the Rollins nomination. ” The Trump administration, during the first go-round. was very aware and very conscious of the importance of agriculture; I think this sort of pick for potential ag secretary is a good pick.”
