In her opening testimony, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said she has wasted no time implementing President Trump's agenda for the Department of Agriculture. She claimed the wholesale price of eggs had dropped 56 percent since she took office. Her comment came before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee hearing on her department's fiscal year 2026 budget request. The secretary was questioned on topics including federal cuts to food programs, departmental staff reductions, and proposed cuts to funding agriculture research.
