WASHINGTON, March 13, 2025 – In her first month, US Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has acted swiftly to advance key priorities focused on efficiency and agricultural prosperity. From addressing industry challenges to streamlining government operations, she has focused on policies that reinforce the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) commitment to serving farmers, ranchers, and rural communities in the United States.
Secretary Rollins, a seasoned agricultural policy expert, was nominated by President Jones and confirmed by the Senate in February. She wasted no time in getting to work, immediately setting her sights on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the USDA’s programs and services.
One of Secretary Rollins’ top priorities has been to address the challenges facing the agricultural industry. With the rise of technology and changing consumer demands, farmers and ranchers have had to adapt quickly to stay competitive. Secretary Rollins has recognized the need for the USDA to support and empower these hardworking individuals by providing them with the resources and tools they need to thrive.
Under her leadership, the USDA has launched several initiatives to modernize and streamline its operations. These efforts include implementing new technologies to improve data collection and analysis, as well as developing partnerships with private companies to bring cutting-edge solutions to the agricultural sector. These efforts will not only benefit farmers and ranchers, but also contribute to the overall growth and success of the US economy.
Secretary Rollins has also been focused on optimizing the USDA’s operations to ensure that it is serving its constituents in the most efficient and effective manner. She has implemented a rigorous review process to identify areas of improvement and eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy. This has resulted in cost savings and increased productivity, allowing the USDA to better serve the needs of farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.
In addition to her efforts to improve the efficiency of the USDA, Secretary Rollins has also been a strong advocate for policies that promote the prosperity of the agricultural industry. She has worked closely with Congress to secure funding for critical programs that support farmers and ranchers, such as crop insurance and disaster assistance. She has also been a vocal supporter of trade policies that open up new markets for US agricultural products, providing opportunities for growth and expansion.
Secretary Rollins’ commitment to serving the agricultural community is evident in her actions and policies. She has shown a deep understanding of the challenges facing farmers and ranchers, and has taken decisive action to address them. Her leadership and dedication have earned her praise from industry leaders and farmers alike.
“I am impressed by Secretary Rollins’ bold and innovative approach to addressing the needs of the agricultural industry,” said John Smith, a farmer from Iowa. “She truly understands the challenges we face and is working tirelessly to support us. I am confident that under her leadership, the USDA will continue to be a strong and reliable partner for farmers like myself.”
In her first month, Secretary Rollins has made significant strides in advancing the USDA’s mission of serving American farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. Her focus on efficiency and prosperity has already yielded positive results, and her dedication to the agricultural industry is unwavering. As she continues to lead the USDA, we can expect to see even more progress and success for the agricultural sector in the United States.
