U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins traveled to Kansas and Missouri, respectively, meeting with farmers, ranchers, and members of the agricultural community to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the industry. Conversations focused on expanding market access, strengthening rural economies, and ensuring producers have the tools to remain competitive on a global scale.
“Kansas is at the heart of American agriculture, and its farmers and ranchers play a critical role in feeding the world,” said Secretary Rollins. “The meaningful discussions I participated in over the last two days will help shape policies that support long-term success, not just for Midwest producers, but for agriculture across the country.”
On Monday, Secretary Rollins joined U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D., and U.S. Representative Tracey Mann for a tour and roundtable discussion at High Plains Ponderosa Dairy in Plains, KS. Producers shared insights on the current economic landscape, regulatory concerns, and disaster assistance.
Secretary Rollins also visited Finney’s County Feeder in Garden City, where she observed feedlot operations firsthand.
