Secretary Rollins added: “Nebraska’s farmers and ranchers are essential to feeding America and the world. Our discussions today focused on practical solutions that will help these producers continue their vital work.”
The visit was attended by key figures involved in agriculture policy in Nebraska, aiming to highlight collaboration between federal lawmakers, state leaders, and local stakeholders.
