Field Notes
from Kathy
Wednesday, April 16, in Lubbock, our very own Kathy proudly represented the Crop Insurance Professionals of America (CIPA) during a roundtable discussion with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins at the USDA Cotton Classification Complex on the Texas Tech campus.
Secretary Rollins joined House Budget Chairman Jodey Arrington (TX-19) for a tour and essential discussion focused on the future of American agriculture and the tools our producers rely on, like crop insurance. We’re incredibly grateful for Secretary Rollins’ leadership and advocacy in Washington. Her support is deeply felt by those of us working daily to serve America’s farmers and ranchers.
