EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS CONGRATULATE BROOKE ROLLINS ON NOMINATION FOR SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Association of Equipment Manufacturers Senior Vice President Kip Eideberg issued the following statement after President-elect Donald J. Trump nominated Brooke Rollins to serve as the 33rd Secretary of Agriculture.
“The Assocation of Equipment Manufacturers congratulates Brooke Rollins on her nomination as Secretary of Agriculture. The U.S. Department of Agriculture plays a critical role in ensuring that the United States has the world’s most productive, vibrant, and resilient agriculture sector.
AEM has long advocated for policies that strengthen the bonds between agriculture and equipment manufacturing, from promoting precision agriculture technologies to strengthening the supply chain that supports our nation’s farmers and ranchers. At the same time, we remain focused on the challenges facing the agriculture sector, including market access, workforce shortages, and regulatory burdens.
We look forward to working with Secretary-designate Rollins to advance a rural economic development strategy that supports farmers and ranchers, strengthens communities, and provides young people with more options to live, work, and raise the next generation in rural America.”
