Cattle Farmers and Ranchers Agree Farm Security is National Security

The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) praised Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins’ Farm Security is National Security action plan. As part of the announcement, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is releasing a number of farm security and national security policies strongly supported by NCBA and America’s cattle farmers and ranchers.

“America is blessed to have hundreds of thousands of family farms and ranches producing beef right here at home,” said NCBA President and Nebraska cattleman Buck Wehrbein. “NCBA strongly agrees with Secretary Rollins that farm security is national security. We are pleased that USDA is protecting our family farms and ranches, scrutinizing foreign acquisitions to ensure they don’t threaten American agriculture, protecting U.S. agricultural research from foreign adversaries, and bolstering animal health programs to prevent a foreign animal disease outbreak. Secretary Rollins and President Trump are true friends of American agriculture.”

Secretary Rollins was joined by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and several other leaders from the Trump administration and Congress for the rollout of these farm security and national security policies.
