In her new role, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins’ priorities will include avian influenza, trade, and the distribution of $31 billion in economic and disaster assistance. Rollins is also focused on building her team at USDA. “My fastball, I believe, has always been finding the most amazing people, the best talents out there, those that are willing to serve others and serve a bigger cause,” said Rollins. “The team we’ve begun to build, and we’ve only just begun, is some of the smartest, most incredible, most dedicated men and women I’ve ever worked with.” Rollins said the Trump Administration’s effort to downsize the government will ultimately get USDA back on track in serving farmers and ranchers.
