Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins has taken a much more visible role in the new Trump Administration than previous agriculture secretaries, appearing three times this month already on Fox News, most recently this past Sunday.
In a wide-ranging interview with Shannon Bream, Rollins talked about a number of issues, from tariffs and trade to the price of eggs, and spent some time discussing the importance of ethanol.
“President Trump has been unequivocal in his support for ethanol and in his support for the year round sale for the E15. In fact, at the end of our last administration, we put that rule out. A court gutted that. So now we’re working on it again,” said Rollins. “We are hyper-focused on the energy independence and ethanol and biofuels is a very, very important part of that.”
Bream interviewed Rollins Sunday after spending time in White Cloud, Kansas interviewing former National Corn Growers Association president Ken McCauley and his family.
