WASHINGTON, DC - Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11), Chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), welcomed U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins to Capitol Hill for the RSC's member meeting this week.
Secretary Rollins and the Trump Administration have put American farmers and ranchers first by expanding markets, rooting out fraud and abuse in the SNAP program, and protecting American farmland from foreign adversaries' ownership. The Secretary also spoke on the USDA's aggressive efforts to deploy sterile flies to eradicate New World Screwworm (NWS) along the southern border, including in Texas.
RSC Chairman Pfluger applauded Secretary Rollins for her tireless work to deliver results for farmers and ranchers across the country. He reaffirmed that the RSC will continue working hand-in-hand with Secretary Rollins and USDA to strengthen rural America and ensure that our agricultural industry remains the envy of the world.
