Just yesterday, on May 27, Secretary Rollins announced a significant $14.5 million funding increase for state meat and poultry inspection programs. This decision comes in response to declining funding during the previous administration and aligns with President Trump's commitment to ensuring Americans have access to a safe and affordable food supply. The funding will help states maintain their inspection programs, which are crucial for getting American-produced meat and poultry to market.
Last week, on May 26, Rollins participated in a "Make America Healthy Again" event alongside RFK Jr., where she emphasized the central role of agriculture in national wellness. "Without American agriculture at the center of this discussion, we cannot truly make America healthy again," Rollins declared. While praising the current food system as "the most robust, the safest, the best agriculture system in the world," she acknowledged there's room for improvement.
Earlier this month, at a USDA conference with congressional staff, the agency revealed that more than 15,000 USDA employees, approximately 15% of the total workforce, have accepted financial incentives to leave the agency. The departures include 674 Farm Service Agency county employees, 2,408 Natural Resources Conservation Service staff, and 555 Food Safety Inspection Service employees. According to a USDA statement, these changes are part of Secretary Rollins' efforts to make the agency more efficient.
Rollins has also been vocal about the challenges facing American farmers. At the Commodity Classic event in March, she described the U.S. farm economy as being in "Dire Straits," possibly in the worst shape in a century. She highlighted several issues, including a 30% increase in input costs, a growing trade deficit, and excessive regulations. Rollins expressed her intention to aggressively pursue expanded markets for American agricultural products and make capital more accessible, especially for younger farmers.
The 52-year-old Rollins, who previously served as Director of the Domestic Policy Council during the first Trump administration, was confirmed as Secretary of Agriculture earlier this year with support from over 400 agriculture-related groups and businesses.
