(Washington D.C.) Just under a week ago, President Donald Trump nominated Brooke Rollins for U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. Rollins has deep roots in agriculture, having grown up on a farm and actively participated in the Future Farmers of America and 4-H, a nationwide agricultural organization.
Rollins has been a close ally of Trump for many years, serving as the co-founder and president of the America First Policy Institute, a pro-Trump right-wing think tank. Glen Smith, a member of the Farm Credit Administration in Washington, D.C., was also nominated by President Trump in 2017. He has served as the chairman and CEO of the Farm Credit Administration for three-and-a-half years and is currently on holdover status within the agency.
