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.”
