Hoeven to Host Agriculture Secretary Rollins in North Dakota on April 22

FARGO, N.D. – Senator John Hoeven today announced that he will host Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins in North Dakota on Tuesday, April 22. Hoeven, who serves as chairman of the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Committee and a senior member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, invited Rollins to the state during her confirmation process earlier this year so she could:
To this end, Hoeven and Rollins will meet with local commodity groups and producers at North Dakota State University (NDSU) and participate in an agriculture technology demonstration at Grand Farm. Specific event details, including times and locations, will be released in the coming days.
“Our farmers, ranchers and agri-businesses have built North Dakota into a world leader in production agriculture,” said Senator Hoeven. “Their feedback will be invaluable to Secretary Rollins as she works with us to keep the farm in the farm bill. At the same time, this visit will enable her to see the exciting new developments in precision agriculture that are happening right here in the Red River Valley. This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase the partnerships we’ve worked to craft between Grand Farm, NDSU and others and secure key support for strengthening such initiatives.”
