Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins faced the House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee this morning, fielding questions about the 2027 fiscal year USDA budget. In the hearing, Michigan Congressman John Moolenaar said sugarbeet growers are being undercut by foreign competitors. Rollins agreed. “The crushing that has happened by foreign imports is real, and it has devastated so many of our industries; it is unbelievable,” remarked Rollins. “Sugar obviously remains a priority. This president and our US trade rep, Jamieson Greer, whom I speak with almost daily at this point, is very focused on ensuring we are America first and we are protecting our American food growers.”
