U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins expressed her approval for President Trump and the Republican leadership in Congress following the passage of a continuing resolution that secures essential funding for American farmers, ranchers, and rural communities.
“This continuing resolution allows USDA to continue to uphold President Trump’s commitment to America’s farmers and ranchers while making sure the critical programs our customers rely on remain available,” said Secretary Rollins. “President Trump and Republicans in Congress have taken action to support agriculture by making smart policy fixes that protect farmers and strengthens markets. It also ensures that those who safeguard our land and resources are recognized for their heroic work through critical pay reform for our Forest Service wildland firefighters.”
The resolution ensures ongoing support from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for its stakeholders, emphasizing policy adjustments aimed at bolstering agricultural markets. Additionally, it addresses compensation reforms for Forest Service wildland firefighters.
