The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association applauded Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins’ Farm Security is National Security action plan. The USDA is releasing a number of farm security and national security policies supported by NCBA and America’s cattle farmers and ranchers. “We’re blessed to have hundreds of thousands of family farms and ranches producing beef right here at home,” said NCBA President Buck Wehrbein. “NCBA strongly agrees with Secretary Rollins that farm security is national security.” He also said NCBA is pleased that the agency is protecting our family farms and ranches, scrutinizing foreign acquisitions to ensure they don’t threaten American agriculture, protecting American agriculture research from foreign adversaries, and bolstering animal health programs to prevent a foreign animal disease outbreak. As part of the plan, USDA will increase its oversight of foreign land acquisitions, strengthen inspections to root out dangerous products entering the U.S., and prevent the spread of potentially devastating diseases.
