On Thursday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall from Kansas expressed his support for the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) announcement regarding its planned reorganization. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins stated that Kansas City will be a significant beneficiary of this restructuring.

The reorganization is part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to streamline federal agencies, focusing on their primary functions while eliminating redundancy and waste. This aims to maintain essential services provided to taxpayers.

“There are no stronger champions for American farmers and ranchers than Secretary Rollins and President Trump,” said Senator Marshall. “Today’s announcements build on President Trump’s efforts in his first Administration to move those who work closest with our farmers and ranchers to our nation’s heartland. This is putting Farmer’s First.”

Secretary Rollins added, “American agriculture feeds, clothes, and fuels this nation and the world, and it is long past time the Department better serve the great and patriotic farmers, ranchers, and producers we are mandated to support. President Trump was elected to make real change in Washington, and we are doing just that by moving our key services outside the beltway and into great American cities across the country.” She emphasized that this process would be transparent while preserving USDA's critical health and public safety services.
