The USDA is pushing back against Texas Ag Commissioner Sid Miller. During a conversation with RFD-TV, a USDA spokesperson said Miller is proposing “ineffective solutions” in the fight against the New World Screwworm. In an exclusive statement to RFD-TV, the agency defended its $750 million plan to build a sterile fly production facility at the southern border, calling it the “most aggressive response in U.S. history.” The USDA also accused Miller of disregarding proven methods for cheap publicity. “USDA, in conjunction with the entire federal government, has launched the most aggressive plan to combat the New World Screwworm in our country’s history, including committing up to $750 million to build a sterile fly production facility near the Southern Border at Moore Air Force Base,” the spokesman said. “Commissioner Miller is blatantly disregarding tried and true strategies in favor of clickbait publicity stunts instead of working with us to find real solutions.”
