The National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) President Lori Stevermer, a pork producer from Easton, Minn., released the following statement after the U.S. Senate confirmed Brooke Rollins to serve as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“Congratulations to Secretary Brooke Rollins on her confirmation to lead USDA. America’s pork producers are eager to work with Secretary Rollins to fix the multitude of problems caused by California Proposition 12 and ensure farm families have reasonable policies to pass down our farms to future generations.”

During her confirmation hearing, Rollins committed to working with Congress to address the problems caused by Prop. 12. Rollins said Prop. 12 “…is not just affecting California. It’s affecting multitudes of other states, multitudes of other parts of the ag community, including our hog family farms.”

NPPC looks forward to working with Secretary Rollins on additional pork industry priorities, including the 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, U.S. pork export promotion, federal pork purchases, and foreign animal disease prevention, preparation, and response.
