U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, and Congressman Ryan Mackenzie (PA-07) today met with local commonwealth farmers and freight partners to discuss how the Trump Administration is delivering for Pennsylvania. The “Farm to Table” roundtable was held at Jaindl Farms, a fifth-generation turkey farm.
From investing in farming communities to ensuring only properly vetted drivers are operating big rigs, USDA and USDOT are putting Americans first.
During their visit, the Secretaries also announced a new waiver from USDOT that will protect the transport of fertilizer in over 30 states—a move designed to cut costs, boost production, and bring relief to American farmers.
“You can’t have MAHA without the men and women who haul fertilizer or bring farmers’ products to market. Today’s ‘Farm to Table’ discussion underscored why the work we are doing to secure America’s roads is so crucial for our agricultural communities and highway safety,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. “We were also pleased to announce a temporary, commonsense measure on fertilizer delivery that will ensure our supply chain stays resilient by giving truckers the flexibility they need. The Trump Administration is laser-focused on driving down costs for American families.”
