President Donald Trump was officially sworn in as the 47th president of the U.S., and ag groups congratulated him. “We know the new president is a staunch ally of the U.S. farmer and second to none when it comes to negotiation acumen,” says National Corn Growers Association President Kenneth Hartman, Jr. “We look forward to working with him to advance issues of importance to the nation’s corn growers. The National Milk Producers Federation is also eager to get to work on a number of challenging issues. “We’re ready to work with leaders from the White House and Congress to help America prosper and for its world-leading dairy industry to grow and thrive,” says Gregg Doud, president and CEO of the NMPF. Doud also called for swift confirmation of Brooke Rollins to become the next Agriculture Secretary, noting that many key issues await her, the administration, and the new Congress.
