WASHINGTON-U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR), ranking member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, issued the following statement on his meeting with Brooke Rollins, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to serve as U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary:
"I was pleased to meet with Brooke Rollins and discuss our shared interests in enhancing and advancing policies to help rural communities thrive. Having grown up with an understanding of the sacrifice, hard work and challenges facing agriculture producers, she is well-positioned to be a strong voice and advocate for farmers, ranchers and forest landowners so they can continue to feed, clothe and fuel the world. With a background in executive leadership, she is ready to hit the ground running and work with Congress to deliver a Farm Bill that addresses the needs of America's agricultural producers. I am encouraged by her determination, commitment and resolve to help rural families thrive."
