STATEMENT on Secretary of Agriculture Nominee

from Patrick Atagi, NIHC President & CEO

“The National Industrial Hemp Council congratulates Brooke Rollins on her nomination as Secretary of Agriculture.

Her leadership will be instrumental in shaping the future of American agriculture, and we look forward to collaborating with her to ensure the continued growth and success of the U.S. hemp industry.

As a vital crop for sustainable agriculture, hemp has the potential to drive economic growth, create jobs, and provide innovative solutions in industries such as construction, textiles, and bioplastics. We urge USDA to prioritize policies that reduce barriers for hemp farmers, support innovation, and expand opportunities for U.S. hemp in both domestic and international markets.

The NIHC stands ready to work alongside the Secretary to build a thriving future for American agriculture and hemp producers nationwide.
