Senator Roger Marshall spoke at a press conference on Thursday, January 9, where he highlighted key appointments and priorities for agriculture. He praised Brooke Rollins, nominated for Secretary of Agriculture, for her deep knowledge of agriculture, stemming from her Texas A&M education and family background. He emphasized her commitment to advocating for American farmers and ranchers, noting that President Trump values the concerns of rural America. Marshall stressed that Trump often inquires about the wellbeing of Kansas farmers and that Rollins would be a powerful voice for agriculture.
Marshall also expressed support for Jameson Greer, nominated for a position in U.S. trade. He commended Greer’s experience in the Air Force and his extensive travels throughout Kansas, particularly in Wichita, where he gained insight into the aerospace and manufacturing industries—key sectors in Kansas trade. Marshall is confident Greer will be dedicated to expanding Kansas’ global trade.
Looking ahead, Marshall reaffirmed his dedication to passing a farm bill that prioritizes crop insurance. He emphasized the importance of collaboration with new leadership, including Majority Leader John Bozeman, to ensure the farm bill reflects the needs of Kansas farmers and ranchers.
