Brooke Rollins was confirmed by the Senate Agriculture Committee to continue the approval process toward being USDA's next Secretary.  She made comment during her review that the president is aware of the potential impact tariffs could have on farmers and agribusiness.  Rollins said that they've already discussed previous programs, like market facilitation payments, to help defer the injury caused.
