Watne: Rollins Has the Credentials for Ag Secretary Role

The nomination of Brooke Rollins for the top job at USDA is receiving praise. “She certainly has credentials that could bring her into a leadership role,” says North Dakota Farmer’s Union President Mark Watne. “She has some background in agriculture growing up on a farm and attending Texas A&M where I believe she got a degree in Ag Development.” Rollins will come into the role with a full plate. “Hopefully, she’ll surround herself with the talent needed to help us get over having a long period without a new farm program and bring us some new markets.”
