Jerry Brown, USDEC |
From President & CEO Krysta Harden:
“The U.S. Dairy Export Council congratulates Brooke Rollins on her confirmation as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Her leadership and passion for agriculture will make her a strong leader at USDA.
Having grown up on a family farm, and still raising livestock to this day, Secretary Rollins knows how important exports are to the economic well-being of American farmers and food manufacturers. This is especially true for the U.S. dairy industry, which exported nearly $8.3 billion worth of products in 2024.
We look forward to working with Secretary Rollins and her team at USDA to support U.S. dairy exporters in the global marketplace and continue our proud tradition of supplying the world with affordable, sustainably sourced, nutritious, and high-quality dairy products.”
